Newsom has directed the National Guard and the California Highway Patrol to aid the city in addressing fentanyl tracking.Since 2020, San Francisco has counted 2,212 accidental overdose deaths, with fentanyl responsible for over 70% of them. This year is on track to be the worst yet, with the city counting 200 overdose deaths over the first three months of 2023. That puts San Francisco on pace for 800 overdose deaths, more than the 725 the city saw in 2020.

Los Angeles Times columnist Anita Chabria said that talking about drugs and crime in San Francisco is entirely “right-wing propaganda that’s stoking paranoia and panic in various parts of the country.” Of course, she also admits that there is a “crisis of addiction” which “has led to unacceptable levels of property crime” and that “brazen” “anti-Asian hate crimes” have surged throughout the city.
