what happened to the city that made tech moguls out of people who just wanted to make music or art? I get that things are tough and all but it feels like we've lost something special along the way. Mayor Lurie's efforts are appreciated but we need more than just funding to solve these problems we need a fundamental shift in how we think about what it means to live in this city 
. It's not just about throwing money at the problem, we need to create a culture that values community and affordability above profits 
. It's interesting that they're trying to support local businesses, but at what cost? Are we really creating more affordable housing or just pushing it further away for people who can't afford it? 
. I mean, investing in more affordable options and supporting local businesses sounds great on paper, but how much actually gets done when you're dealing with a city that's literally running out of available units? 
San Francisco's gotta do better than just throwing money at it. We need some real solutions that don't involve just moving people from one spot to another. Affordable housing is key, but what about the ones who are already living in SF? How can they afford to live here when everything costs so much? 
.
. Mayor Lurie seems like a cool dude trying to make things happen, but we need to see some real change soon 
. Affordable housing options would be amazing 
. Maybe if the city supports local businesses and creates a more favorable business environment, that'll bring in some new ideas and innovation 
. Community engagement is key too 
. We need everyone working together to find solutions 
.
I mean, who wouldn't want to live in a place with a great vibe and tons of opportunities? It's awesome that Mayor Lurie is prioritizing the needs of his residents and working on creating more affordable housing options. 
It's not going to be easy, but I love that Mayor Lurie is emphasizing the importance of community engagement. Let's work together to make San Francisco an even better place to live! 
interesting that he's working with Governor Newsom on this too 
️. He's making some great moves 
. But, like, the homeless crisis is still super rough 
. We need more $$
. Mayor Lurie's got the right idea about community engagement 
and working with everyone 
. Still, I suppose it's a good start 
. They're trying to keep up with the cost of living, but sometimes it's hard to make ends meet. I'm glad Mayor Lurie is looking into ways to create more affordable housing options - that would be amazing for students like me who need a place to live! 
.
. We need to keep pushing for affordable housing, economic growth, and community engagement if we want San Francisco to remain a place where everyone can thrive 
btw, have u seen the breakdown of CA's housing costs? median rent in SF is at $4,300/month 
. I love how he's collaborating with local organizations and residents to create more affordable housing options - that's the kind of community-driven thinking we need more of 
. San Francisco is struggling with homelessness and high costs of living, and it's not like anyone's surprised about it... or that the solutions being proposed are really innovative. More affordable housing options? How about just implementing policies to actually make those homes affordable for actual people instead of just luxury condos for wealthy investors? And what's with all the talk about community engagement? Can't we just have some real action on this instead of just "working together" and "collaborating"? It sounds like a bunch of buzzwords to me...
