[SAN FRANCISCO FIRE DEPARTMENT MEDIA @SFFDPIO]

The San Francisco Fire Department acknowledges the individuals who played a crucial role in successfully implementing a PFAS-free safety gear initiative for firefighters in the City San County of San Francisco.

Today, various leaders gathered to represent their efforts, along with the contributions of many others, to achieve what was once considered impossible. With strong leadership prioritizing the safety of those who protect others, this initiative has now become a reality.

We want to express our gratitude to all who have contributed to this and thank the following individuals who represented this effort at today’s media event:

- Chief of Department, Dean Crispen
- Mayor, Daniel Lurie @DanielLurie
- President of San Francisco Firefighters Local 798, Sam Gebler @SFFFLocal798

No more wasted space and underutilized buildings contributing to decaying, stagnant downtowns across the state. It's a win all around: more people, more affordable housing, more foot traffic, more support for small businesses, safer more vibrant communities.

@spencercamp @Twolfrecovery @BayAreaCouncil @salvationarmysf The initial version of the bill last year had no % cap, a % was forced into the bill in committee by the Chair. Then the bill was still held last year in a subsequent committee when it had 25%. So this year we got it to the Governor with 10%, and still vetoed.

[Matt Haney @MattHaneySF]

@xderloin Yes. Permanent housing, which is incredibiy important as part of the set of options that should be available to people if they choose them. Only if they choose them. Denying people in recovery access to recovery housing is a housing barrier. That's not housing first.

[Matt Haney @MattHaneySF]

@xderloin This is related to funding for permanent supportive housing for formerly homeless people. Permanent supportive housing provides housing + behavioral health care, by design. They aren't separated currently. The "supportive" piece of it is mostly behavioral health.

“That’s a pattern Californians should be deeply angry about,” said @MattHaneySF to @CalMatters about the Legislature’s failure to pass meaningful insurer reforms. Fortunately, AB 512, SB 306, AB 682 & SB 530 are on @CaGovernor’s desk for signature — a huge step for patients. #InsurerAccountability #CaLeg #AB512 #SB306 #AB682 #SB530

@KenRuss247389 @grok @CalMatters @jocelynwiener The insurance provider that denied his coverage is a subsidiary of United Health.

Her son died from a fentanyl overdose after insurance declined coverage for an extended stay in residential treatment. She's advocating for legislation to protect other families. https://t.co/7xtM0KI5fT

People in recovery need time to rebuild from the wreckage of addiction. AB255 gives people that chance. The recovery community urges @CAgovernor to sign the recovery housing bill into law! @MattHaneySF @Stefani4CA @DanielLurie @salvationarmysf @BayAreaCouncil

[Matt Haney @MattHaneySF]

@O4SI5 @MarioNawfal Every Republican California legislator that cast a vote supported the bill. It was unanimous in the State Assembly.

[Matt Haney @MattHaneySF]

@MarioNawfal That'd be an odd thing for Republicans to say. Nearly every single Republican legislator voted for the bill. It was unanimous in the State Assembly. It was a huge bipartisan win to support small businesses.

[Matt Haney @MattHaneySF]

Thank you Governor @GavinNewsom

California’s cannabis economy can bring enormous benefits to our state, but only if our legal industry is given a fair chance to compete against the untaxed and unregulated illegal market.

[Governor Newsom Press Office @GovPressOffice]

JUST IN — @CAGovernor Gavin Newsom signed #AB564, which eliminates a 25% tax increase on California's legal cannabis industry—boosting this maturing industry, & building on the Administration’s ongoing work to ensure the long-term success of the legal cannabis market

AB 255 is on the Governor's desk: It would finally allow state funding to go to permanent supportive housing with drug-free recovery.

If somebody wants to get off drugs, we should have a placement for them where they can be away from drugs and fully supported in their recovery.

[Matt Haney @MattHaneySF]

20 years ago heart disease was biggest threat to firefighter health. Today, cancer has replaced heart disease as the biggest killer of firefighters.

We have an obligation to ensure they are not exposed to cancer-causing chemicals from very equipment designed to keep them safe.

[Matt Haney @MattHaneySF]

Every single analysis and study done on this issue has shown that 1 month of security deposit is plenty enough to cover nearly all damages, which are rare. And if damages are greater, tenants are still legally liable. And small landlords are exempt from this law. Come on.

[Matt Haney @MattHaneySF]

"Charging astronomical security deposits, which previously could be 10k+ for a median 1 bed room, on families simply because they have a slightly lower credit score should not be legal and thankfully no longer is." - Me, some well meaning suit in Sacramento

[Paul @LA_Multi_Fam]

Convo I have a lot these days.

Me: Sorry your credit/income won’t allow us to sign a lease.

Applicant: I’ll pay a much bigger deposit.

Sorry CA state rules only allow owners to take security deposit equal to 1 month’s rent.

Some well meaning suit in Sacramento really thought he was helping the average bloke too :(

[Matt Haney @MattHaneySF]

Security deposits are to protect against possible damages.

Someone's slightly lower credit score has nothing to do with their likelihood to cause more damages or the possible amount of those damages.

Using that as a reason to jack up their move in costs/barriers is wild.
