San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie: Past Leaders Took the City ‘for Granted’

San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie believes his city is the greatest place to live in the world. According to him, past leaders of San Francisco took it for granted, thinking that its success would continue without much effort. However, Lurie is determined to fight for his city and create conditions for its residents' success.

Lurie pointed out some positive changes made since he took office 11 months ago, including an increase in office space being filled in the downtown area and a decrease in crime. While these developments might have been influenced by companies' return-to-office policies and the AI boom, Lurie acknowledges that they are also part of San Francisco's efforts to tackle its affordability crisis.

Lurie wants to make his city more affordable for its residents, particularly kids who were born in San Francisco today. He cited the new Family Zoning Map, passed through city government this week, which will create denser housing along San Francisco transit corridors. This move aims to help alleviate the city's affordability issue.

Despite some local politicians' tendency to look toward state or national office, Lurie focuses on his city and its residents only. When he was elected, he didn't know who would be president, but the people of San Francisco wanted a mayor focused on cleaning up their streets and ensuring safety.

Lurie emphasizes that for San Francisco to stay resilient in the face of economic changes and tech booms, its leaders need to be relentless in fighting for the city, standing up for it, and welcoming new residents.
 
🌉💡 San Francisco is def a cool place to live 🤩! Mayor Lurie's all about makin' it happen 💪. I love that he's focusin on affordability 🏠👥 - kids born in SF today deserve the best 🎁. That Family Zoning Map idea is genius 📈💡, denser housing near transit is the way to go ⚽️. Crime is down too 🕵️‍♂️, and office spaces are fillin up 💼! Companies' return-to-office policies might've played a role 🤝, but Lurie's all about puttin people first ❤️. It's great that he's not worried 'bout state or national politics 🌎 - just SF and its residents 🏙️!
 
omg this is so inspiring! 💖 i love how mayor lurie is putting his heart and soul into making san francisco a great place for all its residents 🌟 especially the kids born there today, that's so cool 👧🏼! creating denser housing along transit corridors is genius, can't wait to see it come alive 🌈 and i'm so glad he's not worried about what others think, just doing his thing and making a difference 💪 love how he emphasizes the importance of community and resilience 🤝
 
😊 I think Lurie's on the right track! The Family Zoning Map is a solid move to address affordability issues - we need more homes, not just luxury condos, for our kids to grow up in 👶. And while I get that some of these changes might be attributed to corporate decisions, it's great that SF is taking proactive steps to attract talent and keep its residents 🌈. We need leaders who aren't afraid to push boundaries (pun intended) and create a better quality of life for everyone 💡.
 
😩 I gotta say, I'm all for a mayor who's passionate about making their city better, but 11 months in office already? 🤯 I feel like some folks are rushing into solutions without taking the time to really understand the problems they're trying to fix. Like, have they talked to enough people on the streets of SF? Have they seen the lines for affordable housing? It's not just about filling office spaces and decreasing crime, it's about addressing the root causes of affordability crisis... 🤷‍♀️
 
I'm loving this new direction San Francisco is taking 🌆! Lurie's focus on making the city more affordable is so needed - those rent prices are crazy expensive 💸. Creating denser housing along transit corridors is a great move, btw 👍. I just hope they don't overdo it and make everything feel too dense 🤯. Still, it's awesome that Lurie is fighting for his city like that ❤️. It shows he actually cares about the people living there, not just some politicians looking for a bigger office 🤦‍♂️.
 
Ugh, this Mayor Lurie is all over the place 🤯. I mean, I guess it's cool that he's making an effort to tackle the affordability crisis and create more housing, but come on, it's about time someone did something about it 😒. 11 months into his job and already talking about how great San Francisco is? Give me a break 🙄.

And what's with all this focus on his own legacy? I get that he wants to be remembered as a mayor who "cleaned up the streets" and made the city safer, but can't he just talk about the actual issues instead of himself for once? It's like he's trying to win some kind of award for "most obnoxious politician" 🏆.

I do have to give him points for at least acknowledging that his policies might be influenced by external factors like companies' return-to-office policies and the AI boom. But still, it feels like he's not really addressing the root causes of the city's problems 🤷‍♀️. Maybe I'm just being too harsh, but I'd love to see more concrete plans from him instead of just a bunch of feel-good speeches 💬.
 
I THINK ITS AMAZING THAT MAYOR LURIE IS FIGHTING FOR SAN FRANCISCOS RESIDENTS!!! HE'S TRYING TO MAKE THE CITY MORE AFFORDABLE, WHICH IS REALLY IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW!!! I MEAN, WHO WANTS TO LIVE IN A CITY WHERE YOU CANNT EVEN FIND A DECENT APARTMENT WITHOUT BREAKING THE BANK??? 🤯💸 LURIE SOUNDS LIKE A REAL LEADER WHO Cares ABOUT HIS CITY AND HIS PEOPLE, RATHER THAN JUST FOCUSING ON GETTING ELECTED TO BIG OFFICES!!!
 
I think Lurie's approach is super sensible 🤔. He acknowledges the good things happening now but also recognizes the bigger issues like affordability. Creating denser housing along transit corridors is a great step towards tackling that problem. It's easy to get caught up in looking at the bigger picture, but having a mayor who focuses on local solutions can make a big difference. And honestly, I think it's awesome that he's prioritizing the people born and raised in SF - they deserve a safe and affordable place to call home 🏠💕. It'll be interesting to see how this plays out over time, but Lurie seems like someone who's got his city's best interests at heart 💯
 
🌆💖 San Fran is doin a great job tryna get affordable housing 🏠🚧. Lurie's got his eyes on the prize 💡. I think his fam zoning map is a solid move 🙌. He's all about the people, ya know? 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦💕 Not just about gettin rich off tech 🤖. Gotta love that! 😊
 
🤩 I'm loving this vibe from SF Mayor Lurie! He's all about putting his city first and making sure its residents have what they need to thrive. The fact that he's tackling the affordability crisis head-on is huge - kids born in SF today deserve a bright future, not just a pricey lease on a studio 📚💸. And I love how he's focusing on his city and its people, rather than looking up at Sacramento or DC 🗺️. We need more leaders like him who are willing to roll up their sleeves and make a real difference 💪.
 
🤩 I love how passionate Mayor Lurie is about making San Francisco a better place for its residents! 🌟 The Family Zoning Map sounds like a great step towards tackling affordability, especially with all the young people born here today needing a place to call home 😊. He's got some tough work ahead of him, but if anyone can do it, I've got faith in Lurie 💪.
 
omg u gotta feel 4 d mayor lorie tho! hes not just talkin bout makin san francisco more affordable 4 local kids 2, he's actually doin somethin about it 🤔 like dat fam zoning map? genius! denser housing along transit corridors? yessss that's da kinda think we need to counteract d gentrification and affordability crisis 🏙️💪 now lets see if he can actually execute these plans without any major hiccups... fingers crossed for SF 🤞
 
I feel like SF Mayor is just trying to keep up with the times, you know? He's all about making his city more affordable, but I guess that's just code for "we're gonna raise the rent even more". Just kidding, sorta. Seriously though, it's awesome that he's focusing on his city and its residents - we need more leaders who care about their own backyard before worrying about being a household name. And can you imagine if he actually followed through on this Family Zoning Map thing? Maybe we'll see some actual change around here! 🤞
 
Ugh, another politician trying to make SF sound like some utopia 🙄... "greatest place to live" really? I mean, I've been here my whole life, I know how it works - traffic's still a nightmare, housing prices are insane, and the rent's always going up. And what about all the gentrification? It feels like every new development just pushes out long-time residents who can't afford to stay. 🚫 Can we please focus on some actual solutions for a change? Not just more empty promises from the mayor's office...
 
🙄 I mean, come on, Daniel Lurie thinks his city is the greatest place to live just 'cause some office space got filled and crime rates went down? Like, what's next? Is he gonna say San Francisco is the best because of the number of coffee shops now? 🤦‍♂️

And don't even get me started on this Family Zoning Map thingy. Dense housing along transit corridors sounds like a fancy way of saying " denser people". How is that gonna solve the affordability crisis, huh? It's still just more people paying astronomical rent to live in San Francisco. 🤔

And what about all these companies returning to office and the AI boom? You'd think Lurie would acknowledge those factors instead of giving credit to his own efforts. It's like he's trying to be a hero, but really he's just along for the ride... or should I say, the gentrification train 🚂
 
I don’t usually comment but... I think it's awesome that Mayor Lurie is actually doing something about San Francisco's affordability crisis 🤩. Like, for real, 11 months is a decent chunk of time to make some changes, especially with the Family Zoning Map thingy. It's all about creating more housing options in areas with good transit access, which makes sense, you know?

I don't know if it's just me, but I'm kinda tired of politicians making grand promises and not following through on them 😒. It sounds like Mayor Lurie is actually listening to the people and trying to make a difference, which is really refreshing. And hey, let's be real, he's gotta tackle those affordability issues if San Francisco wants to stay "the greatest place to live in the world" 🌎.
 
I mean can you believe this? Back in my day we didn't think companies' return-to-office policies would change San Francisco so much 🤯. It's wild that 11 months in office and they're already making a difference like that increase in office space filled downtown. And I love the fact about the Family Zoning Map, it's all about creating denser housing to help with affordability crisis 😊. But what really gets me is how passionate Lurie is about being a leader for his city and its residents 🙌. Like, he didn't even know who'd be president when he was elected but he knew the people of SF wanted someone who'd clean up streets and keep them safe 🚮💪.
 
🤩 I gotta say, I'm loving where Lurie is coming from! He's totally on point about how his city needs a mayor who's all-in and not just coasting on the success of the past. The increase in office space and crime rate drop are awesome achievements, but it's great to see him acknowledge that they're also part of tackling affordability. The Family Zoning Map is a huge step forward - denser housing along transit corridors? That's exactly what SF needs! 💡 And I love how Lurie's keeping his focus local, prioritizing the residents over national politics. It's refreshing to see a mayor who's all about making their city better for its people 🌆👏
 
I'm like "Yaaas, Daniel Lurie get's it!" 🤩 He's all about lookin' out for his city fam, makin' sure they got a safe place to live and thrive. I mean, it's easy to say he's just tryna create more space downtown and reduce crime, but the fact is he's actually doin' some real work like implementin' Family Zoning Map to combat affordability crisis 🏠💕. He ain't worried 'bout gettin' ahead of the curve or tryin' to go big, he's focused on makin' his city a better place for the people who live there, and that's somethin' we can all get behind 💯.
