Oh, Nancy.
According to a report from Just The News, crime in San Francisco has gotten so bad that employees who work in the Nancy Pelosi Federal Building are being told to stay away —crime is out of control!
HHS Assistant Secretary for Administration Cheryl Campbell advised employees to stay home in a memo earlier this month.
“In light of the conditions at the (Federal Building) we recommend employees … maximize the use of telework for the foreseeable future,” she wrote in the memo.
“This recommendation should be extended to all Region IX employees, including those not currently utilizing telework flexibilities,” Campbell also wrote, referring to the federal zone that encompasses California and other Western states.
From Just The News:
The memo was issued on the same day that White House chief of staff Jeff Zients wrote an email to the Cabinet calling for members to “aggressively” urge staffers to return to in-person work “to deliver better results for the American people,” according to Axios.
It is unclear whether other agencies in the building issued similar orders. Officials with the Labor Department and Pelosi’s office said they are working closely with law enforcement to ensure safety, but they have not issued a work-from-home advisory.
The newspaper also reports that dozens of drug dealers work in shifts near the building, as buyers use their newly-purchased drugs and that the benches on the property are popular for people to use drugs or socialize.
Data from the San Francisco Police Department shows that homicides and robberies in 2023 have increased more than 10% from this time last year in the city.
