Drug addiction and homelessness in San Francisco’s Tenderloin district

San Francisco’s Tenderloin district was described as severely affected by homelessness and drug addiction. A local guide known as “Street King” Del Seymour was reported to show visitors around the area, where people struggling with fentanyl addiction were described as a prominent presence. The account presented Tenderloin as an increasingly unlivable inner-city neighborhood and included a warning not to let the situation reach that point.
