The people of San Francisco have ousted former Mayor London Breed and elected a supposedly more centrist Democrat named Daniel Lurie.
Lurie is promising to clean up the streets and address the city’s massive homeless problem. Will he actually get this done and change the city for the better? One can only hope.
In recent years, countless companies have fled the city over these issues as well as the ongoing crime problem.

San Francisco mayor-elect promises worried resident that he’ll clean up city, address homelessness crisis
San Francisco Mayor-elect Daniel Lurie promised a worried resident that he would clean up the streets ahead of his tenure, after a mayoral election centered around the city’s homelessness, crime and drug overdose problems.
“Clean up the streets and the homeless, please,” a woman told Lurie during a walking tour of the city, according to the Wall Street Journal. Lurie responded, “We’re going to.”
Lurie, a first-time candidate, Levi Strauss heir and founder of an anti-poverty nonprofit, said on the campaign trail that “it is time to end the perception that lawlessness is an acceptable part of life in San Francisco.” Lurie beat incumbent Mayor London Breed in November.
“We are the greatest city in the world when we are at our best,” Lurie said on the walk, according to the WSJ. “If I had to place my bet on a city that is going to come back stronger and better than ever, it is our city.”…
Lurie plans to declare a state of emergency over the fentanyl crisis, replenish San Francisco’s police force, and get his employees at City Hall to return to in-person work full-time, according to the WSJ.
He certainly has his work cut out for him.

The city is pretty far gone. We’ll see if there is any real change.
