San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie marks 100 days in office
SAN FRANCISCO (KGO) -- San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie is marking his first 100 days in office with a progress report he delivered in remarks Thursday.
The first-time elected official highlighted his efforts to tackle the city's homelessness and open-drug air market, a drop in crime numbers and other efforts to boost the city's post-pandemic recovery.
Since taking office, Lurie has repeatedly talked about his mandate from voters -- saying frustrated San Franciscans voted for "change and accountability." He's made 16 appointments, passed several keynote pieces of legislation -- including his signature fentanyl emergency ordinance -- and signed executive orders for things like speeding up the permitting process for housing and businesses.
"I'm incredibly proud of what we're building, but I'm not satisfied. Today is not a victory lap-it's a progress report," Lurie said.
The mayor said the statistics are trending in the "right direction," noting in particular that car break-ins are at a 22-year low.
