San Francisco’s decision to enable drug dealers and drug addicts has led to record overdose deaths, but at least it is helping enrich Honduran drug dealers.
San Francisco’s open-air drug markets have been taken over by drug dealers from Honduras, thanks to both its soft-on-crime policies when it comes to drugs (and most everything else) and to its sanctuary status. According to the San Francisco Chronicle, “the only way most dealers face deportation is if they are arrested on federal charges or in another city.” Therefore, drug addiction in San Francisco is now funding real estate in Honduras, as Honduran dealers send their money back home to build extravagant houses.

It isn’t hard to see why San Francisco is so attractive to those preying on the addiction of San Francisco residents. One dealer has been deported nine times only to continue to make it back to the city. Just 6% of those charged selling drugs in San Francisco from 2018 to 2022 have actually been convicted on a drug charge. Most take plea deals that land them an average sentence of just 38 days in jail.
The record pace of overdose deaths in the city, being driven by fentanyl produced by Mexican cartels, is funding luxurious lifestyles for Honduran dealers. One man built a home in Honduras for $150,000. That is “the equivalent of about five good months of drug sales” in the city. Even his home pales in comparison to his neighbors. These drug-funded homes boast Bay Area symbols such as the Golden Gate Bridge or the logo for the San Francisco Giants. You can consider them an homage to all the drug addicts they poisoned to build their mansions.

So, what happens when San Francisco officials try to call attention to this problem? They are, of course, called xenophobic and racist. That was what happened when Mayor London Breed noted that “a lot” of drug dealers in the city were Honduran. She was forced into an apology, all while overdose deaths continued to fund the lavish homes for drug dealers in Honduras’s Siria Valley.
Enabling drug addicts to fall further into drug addiction has led to nothing but more overdose deaths in San Francisco and more money being shipped out of the city to Honduras. The city’s policies have added insult to overdose, yet there is still no appetite by San Francisco or even the state of California to step in and deal with this travesty.
