San Francisco's newly appointed District Attorney Brooke Jenkins on Tuesday vowed change is coming to the Tenderloin, but at least one longtime neighborhood resident was skeptical.

Del Seymour describes himself as the unofficial "mayor of the Tenderloin." He said politics are not the answer to preventing drug use in this neighborhood.

"Politics should never be a part of the situation of the Tenderloin. But it tends to always get here, so I'm concerned about whether this is another political move to keep us at ground zero or not," he told KPIX 5.
