Mayor Lurie outlines public‑safety, housing and economic goals at 100‑day address to supervisors
Summary
Mayor Daniel Lurie told the Board of Supervisors the administration is prioritizing public safety, downtown economic recovery and housing acceleration, and said property crime and violent crime were down year‑over‑year.
Mayor Daniel Lurie appeared before the Board of Supervisors on April 15 for a scheduled five‑minute mayoral appearance to mark roughly 100 days in office. He told the board the administration’s priorities are public safety, housing production, and economic recovery for downtown and neighborhood commercial corridors.
Key points the mayor made: - Public safety first: The mayor said public safety is the administration’s top priority and cited recently reported drops in crime: property crime down 35% from last year; violent crime down 15%; and vehicle break‑ins at a 22‑year low. He also said Muni ridership has recovered to about 75% of 2019 levels.
- Housing and zoning: The mayor said the administration plans to pass a family‑zoning plan and to advance legislation to spur housing development in SoMa and downtown.
- Economic recovery and small business support: He said the administration moved to expand entertainment zones, renew the 'first year free' program for small businesses, and to pursue expedited legislation to unlock federal funds for infrastructure and health projects.
The mayor closed by describing a collaborative approach between City Hall and the Board of Supervisors and pledged to continue working “side by side” with supervisors while pursuing a budget that aims for fiscal sustainability.
Ending: The matter was filed after the mayor’s remarks and the mayor left the chamber; the board recorded the appearance in the minutes.
