San Francisco has all the ingredients. - Talent. - Capital. - Culture of creation and risk taking. - Tons to do. - Supportive echosystem of innovation. - Diversity. - Natural beauty. All we are missing is a coherent local government. Once we get our shit together, we will

The silent business killer that will sink San Francisco... Prop C - Gross receipts tax on companies' revenue above $50m. This is a well intentioned law that was supported by the far left and certain members of the business community like @Benioff but it has been a disaster.

Private schools are booming in SF because public schools are failing. Any parent who has the means and wants their child to be prepared for college/professional career will avoid SFUSD. SFUSD has been driven into the ground by the extreme left, many who simply use the school

The phone booth issue is a huge problem. Currently, the fire marshal is going around the city building by building and telling tenants and owners either remove the phone booths or pay to have sprinklers installed into them. We are talking about small 2-3 foot boots with a light

The city of SF now considers office phone booths a fire code violation because they don't have sprinklers. So much for our new pro growth regime @DanielLurie @garrytan

People in San Francisco want to know why Union Square is largely vacant. Or why all the Walgreens stores, Whole Foods, Target, or all the mom & pop places are closing? Or why In-N-Out is leaving Oakland. The answer is Prop 47. It essentially legalized theft under $950.

Criminal justice reform in California has failed. Listen to this. He's right. "The lie of Prop 47 has been exposed."

San Francisco’s budget is a joke. It’s bigger than 17 STATES yet citizens get almost no return on investment. It’s quite clear SF has a waste, corruption, and incompetence problem. The city can easily trim billions from the budget to bring its per citizen budget in line with

San Francisco’s $14.6B budget is larger than 17 U.S. states, including New Mexico ($10.5B), Alabama ($12.6B), and Oklahoma ($12.6B). The scale of our government is massive—that’s why we need competent leaders in City Hall who can manage it effectively and ensure accountability.

This sort of NIMBYism is poison The Bay Lights installation in San Francisco is beautiful public art that is free for all people to enjoy. One jerk from Sacramento gets to halt the process and raise the cost of installing via legal costs and delays?… So dumb. End CEQA in

Spent last 3 weeks in NYC on a commercial real estate vision quest for my hometown. My conclusion.... San Francisco needs to step up it's real estate development game...... big time. NYC's developers have transformed ugly and barely used land sites into iconic, architecturally

In San Francisco, prior to doing work on one's home, you need to pay $3,356.74 for a "Historic Resource Report" What is a "Historic Resource Report"? It is a piece paper that says your house is not historic. Newsflash..... most homes are not historic. This is one of many

If San Francisco wants to save downtown, Mid-Market, and Union Square - the solution is simple. - arrest, charge, prosecute and jail repeat thieves - arrest, prosecute and deport fentanyl dealers when appropriate - reasonable taxes that aren’t egregiously higher relative to

Complete domination for @GrowSF endorsed candidates and propositions in local SF election!! Why? San Franciscans are done with radical progressive ideology, defunding the police, harm reduction, addiction enablement, failing schools, and wasting billions of tax payer $$. SF

One of the biggest misses in the history of San Francisco.... Not finishing the central subway plan. Right now it stops in Chinatown. It's awesome and can get you from Chinatown to Chase Center or Oracle park in 10 mins. It's clean. New. But the whole northern part of the
