#mayorlurie — Public Fediverse posts

So San Francisco's #MayorLurie say he needs more authority to fix SF's problems?

Like he's fixing the drug problem, and won't show up to discuss it?

You gotta appreciate the commitment to #SafeStreets and #VisionZero in #SanFrancisco. Thanks, #MayorLurie & #SFMTA /s

Sunset Neighborway promised to slow cars on 8 streets. Five years later, only one has been redesigned

"...severe injury collisions in the first half of 2026 had increased by around 8 percent compared to the same period last year. "

Seems to me that the words about #VIsionZero and #SafeStreets from #MayorLurie, #SFMTA management and #SFPD are very nice words. But lacking in actual action.

Perhaps San Francisco #MayorLurie needs to read this, especially about the need for support.

@MLNow
Of course, as noted "Coordinated city efforts to crack down on vending and drug use around 16th Street began in March last year" - so we are, in a way, in the 6th 90 day program.

Maybe #MayorLurie is not interested in actually addressing the root cause problems, and is too focused on hiding the symptoms?

I bike down #marketst in #sanfrancisco once a week. Today's ride was pretty normal 19 out of 20 advertisements were for #agenticAI services. #mayorlurie was randomly standing on the corner of Octavia and Market st with his bodyguard (#Instagram ming?) and the last ad of the 20 was highlighting the performance of an addiction recovery service. Normal day bike commuting.

#SanFrancisco has "tough on crime" DA #BrookeJenkins and #MayorLurie focused on #PublicSafety.

Pity that they don't seem have thought much about addressing this small problem with #SFPD :

(But we don't see tent encampments any more. That means we must be safe, doesn't it? /s)

We keep hearing how lack of #AffordableHousing is a major problem for San Francisco -
So please, #MayorLurie, explain how dedicating revenue to address this identified problem is a #SlushFund.

I know it would detract from your decision (and power) not to fund social housing - but it doesn't meet any definition of a slush fund I can find.

Disappointed and stunned that instead of building on a program using peer counseling, #SFFD are cutting it. Without clear explanations of what isn't working, or attempts to address problems. Not surprised, but once more disappointed, by #MayorLurie's response.

Ah, yes - #MayorLurie and his cronies 100% support the #Abundance hypothesis. Why are they so fond of the #RentierEconomy? Maybe when you can afford market rate prices, it'll work for you? But it seems to fail a significant number of San Franciscans.

Would that the public-safety focussed #MayorLurie in #SanFrancisco paid more attention to information like this. And, for that matter, the SF Board of Supervisors could do the same.

"Lurie touts tent, RV drop while advocates voice frustration" - That's the headline, and yes, I see fewer tents and tent cities on sidewalks.

Now I just see more individuals sprawled out, sleeping on sidewalks, or sitting on sidewalks. Not as visible, perhaps (smaller, lower to the ground). I do not see that as a success.

Is #MayorLurie using the wrong indicators?

@Jgbird
Ah, yes. San Francisco passed an ordinance banning these, with commitments to fund an exchange program for gardening services

Of course, the #Mayor's office has never allocated the funds.

But hey, we can't actually tax those with money, can we, #MayorLurie?

#YesOnPropD #SanFrancisco

"As part of the BUILD Act announcement, Lurie also said city departments had been convened to determine “a more effective source of funding” for affordable housing within three months."

Nothing says good planning and a complete strategy than cutting revenues while waiting for people to dream up a new source of funds.

#SanFrancisco #MayorLurie #AffordableHousing

For something that's been talked about for a while, and a contractor hired to operate it - there sure seems to be a total lack of cordination and planning. Is that really a good look for the #MayorLurie adminstration? (Certainly makes me nervous about #SanFrancisco #CharterAmendments granting the Mayor even more power)

SO it looks like San Francisco "moderate" supervisors and #MayorLurie are happy to talk public safety, but still don't have a functional plan to actually address the complex intersection of #addiction, #HealthServices and #housing needed to actually make progress. And I haven't heard ANY of them talk about the problems we need to see solved, and what the barriers are. (Cont)

Just one more example demonstrating that the "market" and #MayorLurie's "Family Zoning Plan" will not solve even a small part of the affordable housing problem.

But it might make more mansions available.

@carraway

good points.

Given the solid endorsement of #VisionZero by #MayorLurie and SF departments, I'd expect that all city employees would be able to (and expected to) flag these sorts of problems so appropriate actions could be taken.

Yes, I will be there -The Muni Now, Muni Forever folks have an excellent proposal that improves on the Mayor's proposal, lowering costs for all but the very wealthiest and the largest, most expensive office buildings compared to what the Mayor wants to do. AND it raises more money. Why won't #MayorLurie adopt it?

#MayorLurie - Do you realize you're building #distrust when you support this sort of decision making? This is not good governance.

It may be that the selection criteria staff came up with were incorrect. In that case, revising the decision criteria, clearly identifying what needed to be revised, and why, makes sense. Overruling the criteria that were approved for use? Nope. Or did your senior staff person fail to review the criteria to begin with? Equally Nope

Overruling a recommendation based on the official selection criteria just because one person (or was it 2?) disagrees with the result is #BadGovernance and #BreaksTrust with the people.

I'm spending a lot of time looking at #SanFrancisco's proposed #FamilyZoningPlan. Perhaps that's why reading about Pope Leo XIV's just released Dilexi Te (https://apnews.com/article/vatican-poor-pope-leo-francis-wealth-elite-fb63ece4f0c302c7a321a09da52374ac) brought it to mind.

We have a massive affordable housing problem, with housing unaffordable to most people (based on rent burdens) - and he wrote "“Thus, in a world where the poor are increasingly numerous, we paradoxically see the growth of a wealthy elite, living in a bubble of comfort and luxury, almost in another world compared to ordinary people.”

And I see a zoning plan that allows (incentivizes?) 90' buildings with 4000 sq ft residential units, all less than 9 units so no inclusionary requirement - and hear planning staff talk about how it will help affordability through the inclusionary requirements. Disingenuous is an understatement, but the Planning does answer to #MayorLurie.

Whose brother, a real estate agent for the wealthy, bemoaned a lack of mansions for his clients, living in that bubble.

#housingAffordability

If #MayorLurie could only explain how this plan would provide housing affordable to the full mix of household incomes, without trotting out the hypothetical (and misleading) explanations of #filtering and related misleading #SupplyAndDemand, that would be nice. The history of housing construction in dense urban environments puts the lie to those justifications. And we already build more housing than forecast demand for the top 10% of incomes in SF (which are high, shall we say).

I remember SF Planning touting the #VancouverModel 15 years ago. How did that turn out for Vanouver? Well, not much affordable housing: https://vancouversun.com/news/local-news/vancouver-housing-impossibly-unaffordable-report

So why is the Mayor doubling down on policies that fail in dense urban areas?

I am very disappointed in #MayorLurie's action re TNC's on Market. It's clear the voters got snookered/[played by the language re "commercial vehicles" - where the clear intent was to allow deliveries to the businesses on Market. Conveniently ignoring the commercial licenses of TNCs - but hey, we need to keep the segment that can afford to use the TNCs happy, don't we? Those other folks, who rely on transit? They don't really count, do they? Safe Streets? What could be safer than a vehicle dropping us off at our destination.

https://48hills.org/2025/09/lurie-is-damaging-transit-the-environment-and-democracy-on-market-street/

And it's unfortunate that journalists let #MayorLurie get away with the private property excuse, and don't ask why the "San Francisco Housing Code" (chapters 10 and 13 in particular) is not adequate to ensure habitability.
