The irony of the barriers intending to block out the problem - may just be creating another one. A tweet from the San Francisco firefighters union raised concerns the barricades are impacting emergency response times.

"I heard that there was this massive explosion and the fire trucks could not get in to do their jobs," said Bower. "Seems like a pretty high price to pay for complaints from neighbors who don't like people driving up asking for sex."

"We were a little concerned," said one resident who lives on Capp St. "We were like, oh, are the barriers causing problems? But talking to other residents we realized there hadn't been a fire, not in the 300 block of Capp St. or anywhere else on Capp St. since the barriers were put up." "In the interim, the mayor has decided we are keeping the barricades up," said Sup. Hillary Ronen, adding minor delays will be caused as a result in the event of emergencies. "But on the flip side, the danger in the street from violence and gunshots and a pedestrian being hit was so severe, we have to weigh all these competing factors against each other."
