SAN FRANCISCO - San Francisco's efforts to take control of the years-long crisis in the Tenderloin are shifting again, producing numbers that may start to deliver noticeable results over time.

Helping the Tenderloin as a whole was always going to depend on helping those we see on the streets every day. Saving the neighborhood means finding answers for each person out there when any single case can be a long, complex endeavor.

"There's more work than we can handle out here," said Mark Mazza with the San Francisco Department of Emergency Management. "I just had a woman come and tell me that a tent moved from one corner to another. We have to explain to people that right now we've got rules we have to work with."
