As you may recall, SFPD’s Mission Station organized a community safety meeting last Wednesday in response to an ongoing series of gun-related incidents along the Cesar Chavez corridor that have been linked to the Bernal Dwellings affordable housing complex.
MissionLocal attended the meeting, and reporter Laura Waxman writes that Bernal Dwellings residents want more consistent police coverage:
While small in size, the four-block development is prone to violence, and residents there said that conditions have worsened, causing many to remain indoors for fear of being targeted.
“It’s very scary to live here right now because at any moment somebody can come by and start shooting or if they see somebody outside they see them as a target,” said Gina Guitron, Bernal Dwellings’ property manager who is also a resident there.
A January 26 shooting that injured a 52-year-old man while standing in front of a house at 26th Street and Treat Avenue and a 43-year-old man who was targeted moments later while walking in the area prompted Mission Station Police Captain Daniel Perea to call for the community meeting in an effort to discuss neighborhood safety.
On January 1, 21-year-old Ernesto Rosales was shot at 26th and Shotwell streets, marking the city’s first homicide of the year.
“When things happen, we have to step up our presence, we have officers going through here day and night to make sure that this area remains safe,” said Perea.
In response to the recent violence, Perea said that Mission station officers have been assigned swing shifts to extend patrol hours, and support from other units has been requested to ensure greater coverage of the area.
But some residents who attended the meeting said that they did not feel safe at all and that police’s response is too little and often comes too late.

Was Calle24 at the meeting? Was Hillary Ronen there? Do they care?
No, they do not care. It does not appear that either were there.
There’s a big difference between “affordable housing” and Section 8 welfare housing, especially when the operators do nothing to screen the applicants. Even with the rebuild it seems they let the same losers back in once again. This is not affordable housing. This is gang housing. BIG difference.
Meanwhile these criminal thugs possess and carry weapons without a worry in the world, while our backwards legislatures target law abiding citizens with their gun laws.
Attorney General Sessions, the White House called. It wants back its abjectly stupid and sensationalist blathering about rampant criminality and “gun control.”
