Matt Dorsey wants to know how SF tracks residency.
Amid competing narratives over the prevalence of “drug tourism” in San Francisco, Supervisor Matt Dorsey wants better data on where people using and dying here are from.
“We have plenty of anecdotal evidence about the phenomenon of drug tourism,” he told The Examiner. “We should be taking a hard look at what the numbers really are.” “It’s something that we should get our arms around. These numbers aren’t unknowable,” Dorsey said. “There is a methodology for doing this, I would be interested to see what the current practices are, and what the prospective best practices are, given that we have sort of captured narratives that are both supported by data.”

That puts it on pace to exceed the previous record of 725 overdoses set in 2020.
“We’re offering services in our city that I think many cities are not providing,” Dorsey said. “I would be fine with all of this, if as part of it, we were doing real harm reduction to get people off the street into a clinical setting where if they’re gonna use drugs, we can save their lives.”
