OPINION: "Apparently, cleaning streets so fouled that they are a national punchline is something Breed can only accomplish for the world's elites, not for the rest of us," writes Eric Jaye, a media consultant who has worked for several mayors. trib.al/GCS7Bg0

Daniel Lurie's entry into the San Francisco mayoral race vastly alters the political terrain. But can he win? That's not the same thing. From @esksf missionlocal.org/2023/09/dan…

Mayor Breed's SF 'crime' wave is coming back to haunt her

FORUM: Why did The City let this successful homelessness program end? Misaligned political incentives are perpetuating our problems. sfexaminer.com/forum/why-did…
Homeward Bound was an unqualified success. Why did SF end it?

Homeward Bound was an unqualified success. Why did SF end it?

In 2022, San Francisco allowed Homeward Bound to “sunset” and merged it into existing programs without the clear mission to measure and drive a program that helped people get home.

NEW: SF has a massive homelessness budget, but it struggles to spend all that money every year. That includes: — Millions left in HSH’s annual general fund budget — Less than 1/3 Prop C funds spent — At least $25 mil returned to HUD Here’s why: sfchronicle.com/sf/article/s…
S.F. has been slow to spend hundreds of millions for homelessness. Here’s why

Rolling over money year to year is one thing, but returning money to the feds is an out-and-out failure.

San Francisco does not have a crisis in ideology it has a crisis in leadership. The City has been led by moderate mayors since 1991. The Mayor in San Francisco is much more powerful than in most big cities.

Nearly every night in CA, another homeless neighbor — or 2 or 3 or 12 — dies on our watch. They pay the ultimate price for a failure committed by our state: the failure to provide the life-saving care that our residents in mental distress need, but sometimes cannot accept. mattmahansj.medium.com/calif…
California must do more to prevent the deaths of homeless residents. Here’s one way

California must do more to prevent the deaths of homeless residents. Here’s one way

California hasn’t banned the death penalty; at least, not for our homeless neighbors.

Tom McClintock didn’t just repeatedly vote against #COVID19 relief for #CA04, he called masks “useless” & actively undermined the guidance of top medical professionals & scientists. We need to elect a leader who will put politics aside & do what’s right for our community.

When #COVID19 hit, Tom McClintock wasn’t there for us. For 40 years, he hasn’t been there for seniors, either. Instead he’s worked to slash Social Security & Medicare. We deserve better & that’s why I’m running for Congress. I will always put politics aside and put #CA04 first.
