View the San Francisco for Wednesday, October 4, 2023
to become San Francisco’s next mayor, is positioning himself as the antidote to a city government beleaguered by inefficiency and ineffectiveness.
It really hit home for me , walking across the street with my kids, just seeing another person in crisis as I’m walking my kids to school and realizing that there’s just still more work to be done. Let’s tease that out a little bit. Standing up enough shelter rapidly for all of the people that are currently on the street — I mean, we’re talking about thousands of beds, correct?
I’m sure you’ve heard that and read the analysis that the three most prominent candidates in this election are politically very similar, and that this is going to be a war of personalities. I wonder if you agree or reject that analysis? Another criticism I’m sure you’ve heard is that you are a person who is enormously privileged and has inherited wealth and doesn’t have the sort of lived experience that most San Franciscans have — who is he to lead our city?
Once we fully staff the police to where, if you’ve got cops walking the beat in Chinatown, our seniors can feel safe walking down Grand Avenue or Portsmouth Square. You know, if there’s cops walking down past a Safeway or Walgreens, people are unlikely to go in and pilfer and steal whatever they want. So we need that, and then we need our judges to hold those people accountable that commit crimes. We’re not gonna get the conferences and the tourism back until our streets are safe.
We need housing at all levels. I’ve gotten affordable housing built. I think we need to really think and prioritize middle-income housing. We need housing for our police officers, for our firefighters, for our teachers, for our nurses. It is so critical that we have a public-safety force that feels like they can afford to live here. It’s down below 20% of the number of cops that actually live in San Francisco.
I’m bouncing around a little bit. Does The City do enough to support small businesses? And if not, what can it do better? You’ve got to believe, and you’ve got to have hope, and I have all of those. I think the best days for San Francisco are ahead of it. We’re gonna go out and we’re gonna clean up our streets, we are going to make people feel safe. We’re gonna have excellent public transportation, a good school system. And we’re gonna go out and start recruiting people back to San Francisco. We have a bright future, we have all the resources at our disposal.
For some of her students, Yonder’s new space marks the first time they will have an opportunity to showcase their work. Fahey says she wants it to serve as a launching pad for up-and-comingLinda Fahey told The Examiner that her new shop at 151 Jackson St. will be fitted with “things in here you won’t get anywhere else.”
“That is a testament to the kind of longevity we’re gonna see from these local small businesses that are driving our recovery,” said Sarah Dennis-Phillips, OEWD’s director. “If they’re that invested on day one for a short-term, imagine how invested they are over the long-term.” Legislators skeptical of the bill appear to agree that the streamlining proposal would, at best, only help The City inch its way toward that 82,000-unit goal.
A dizzying array of amendments to the legislation have already been proposed by lawmakers, and it’s difficult to gauge just how significant its effect on San Francisco’s housing affordability crisis would actually be.As initially drafted, Breed’s proposal attempts to encourage the densification of neighborhoods dominated by single-
But tenant buyouts often aren’t officially reported, supervisors noted, making this legislation near impossible to enforce. “We all know that for the buyouts that get recorded, there’s plenty that don’t,” Supervisor Dean Preston said. Detractors warn the bill could result in the bulldozing of occupied-but-illegal apartments — such as an in-law apartment added to a single-family home without city approval. Such units are still subject to The City’s rent-control law.
