mr. preston. >> yeah. i mean, i think we can't look at this without looking at the history of what was alluded to. we're looking at decades of a failed war on drugs that resulted in mass incarceration. you know, if you're looking for appear supervisor that's going to further the mass incarceration by pushing for arrests and long sentences for street-level drug sales, i may not be your guy. i mean, i think that the reality is if we're going to focus our prosecutorial resources on our police, we should be focusing much higher up in the food chain, of the folks that are bringing the illegal drugs into our streets and not punishing. a lot of folks who lack economic opportunity and are engaged in street-level dealing. at the end of the day, similar to my previous responses, we need to offer something better to the folks who are selling illegal drugs on the street. so that they optimistic -- opt into that, as opposed to thinking punishments and sentences will solve it. >> moderator: thank you very much. this nex

mr. preston. >> thanks. my priorities, first off, would be to stop the sweeps and the criminalization of homelessness, that is occurring. i think it's ineffective. i think it's immoral. and i think it's a waste of taxpayer money. second thing we need in the haight is the homeless youth alliance has been without a permanent site in the haight for years now. it's ridiculous. and we need some advocacy from our supervisor's office to find them a permanent location. it's an amazing organization doing essential work. third, we need a navigation center in district 5. we've now been promised that since i first raised it in 2016. year after year we're told we're getting a navigation center. everyone agrees we need one. we still don't have one. last thing i would say is the mcdonald's site is frankly an embarrassment. that is the site -- that was a strong proposal from the community. one of them actually involved public uses, as well as services for transitional-age youth. it would have been a great idea. the city abr

mr. preston. >> thanks. i wish i had time to rebutt all of the false statements made about our campaign donations. but i won't. so thank you for being here this evening. and let's remember what this is all about. it's about real people and their struggles that folks face today in san francisco. seniors who are facing evictions, students burdened by massive educational debt, transit riders that can't even get on their bus because it's too crowded. and families unable to afford affordable housing to stay in san francisco. so i'm running for supervisor so that city hall starts working for the people who are struggling, not just the big corporations and corporate landlords. and that's the real difference in this race. and it's what's earned me the sole endorsement from so many trusted grassroots organizations, like the sierra club, the united educators of san francisco, the affordable housing alliance, san francisco young democrats, latino democratic club, san francisco tenants' union, a majority of the current
