The @BoringCompany could build a Hyperloop tunnel from downtown SF to downtown LA for <5% of this cost and it would be a technological marvel exceeding any high speed rail on Earth

@Camp4 Not really an apples to apples comparison.. Marin/Boulder better.. two of healthiest counties in country. Marin is to Mt. Biking as Boulder is to Climbing. Micro climates rule the day and a 55F foggy July day in SF can be 85F in Kentfield/Ross/San Anselmo

Today, I am deeply honored to begin serving as your mayor. This is the city where I was born, the city I call home, and the city I believe in with all my heart.

I entered this race not as a politician, but as a dad who couldn’t explain to my kids what they were seeing on our streets. San Francisco has long been a beacon of compassion and progress, and it’s time for us to be at the forefront of change once again. The crises of addiction, homelessness, and public safety are immense, but they are outweighed by our collective will and determination to heal our city and restore a sense of safety and hope for all San Franciscans.

Inauguration Day marks the beginning of a new era of accountability, service, and change at City Hall. Starting today, my administration will take bold, unapologetic action to tackle our most pressing challenges. We will treat the fentanyl crisis as the emergency it is, revitalize downtown and our economy so that businesses large and small can thrive, and ensure that every San Franciscan shares in our recovery and prosperity.

San Francisco has faced hard times before, and we always rise to the challenge. I am proud to work in partnership with the members of the Board of Supervisors, city departments, and the thousands of city workers who work tirelessly on the front lines every day. But every San Franciscan must do their part to help to turn around our city.

It can be as simple as picking up litter on your street, shopping and dining locally, visiting a museum, taking in a performance or sporting event, joining your local Neighborhood Emergency Response Team (NERT), or working downtown an extra day per week.

I’m asking you to join me as we reclaim San Francisco’s rightful place as a global symbol of innovation and compassion. No one else gets to define who we are. When we are at our best, we are the greatest city in the world.

It’s time to roll up our sleeves and get to work. This is where our comeback begins.

Friends in LA: Download the Watch Duty app to track the fire in real time. It’s the official wild fire app used by the firemen in California with very granular real time updates, video feeds and evacuation maps.

Stay safe. You have no concept of how fast fire can spread til you’ve been through one. I survived a house fire 24 years ago and will never forget the speed.

Get as far away as you can with your loved ones. Forget your possessions, they don’t matter.

[Daniel Lurie 丹尼爾·羅偉 @DanielLurie]

We launched this campaign 13 months ago with the strong belief that it’s time for accountable leadership in City Hall. After years of record-high budgets, worse outcomes, and more excuses, San Franciscans are ready for change.

Over the past 13 months, I’ve had the great experience of meeting with San Franciscans in every corner of our city. I heard your frustrations but also your hope and desire to write our next chapter. After 260 meet and greets, more than 100 merchant walks, over 120,000 doors knocked, and countless conversations with San Franciscans, I am proud to report that hope is alive and well in our city!

This hope is powered by our love for the city we call home.

But hope alone is not enough. Strong values are not enough. They have to be drivers of action and results.

Now we must show how the government can deliver:

Clean and safe streets for all.

Tackling our drug and behavioral health crisis.

Shaking up the corrupt and ineffective bureaucracy.

Building enough housing to turn around our affordability crisis.

Breathing life back into our downtown, and ensuring our small businesses are thriving.

Here’s the truth: Turning around this city is not going to happen overnight. No matter who wins this election, we have extremely difficult challenges ahead.

But here’s another truth: our opportunities and advantages are more powerful.

This moment calls for leadership rooted in true public service, one that puts the people of San Francisco above all else. To tackle these issues, we need to work together and turn the page on the politics of demonizing each other on every issue.

Our supporters poured their whole selves into this campaign. Now, I am asking you to pour that same passion and energy into turning our city around. It’s time for us to roll up our sleeves and work together—no matter the outcome of this election.

Thank you to everyone who has stood with me. I am deeply grateful to my wife Becca, our children, my family, friends, supporters, and my campaign team.

Above all, I’m grateful to every San Franciscan who loves this city. Every San Franciscan who is fighting for a city that works, and for a city that loves them back.

The campaign is over, but the work continues.

@hubermanlab Great episode.. anecdotally cold water surfing (ie N.California low 50s) seems to share many of the cold immersion benefits, any studies/ research on this front?

At some point mental health has to be a greater concern than Covid.

[Bob Wachter @Bob_Wachter]

As we rethink behaviors in face of possible new threats, a reminder that SF – w/ 78% full vax rate, and sensible mask & other policies since Mar 2020 – has had 672 Covid deaths, 1/3rd the US per capita rate. If US had matched SF, ~500,000 people who died of Covid would be alive.
