NEW VIDEO - I wore a Fitbit Air, a Whoop 5.0 and an Apple Watch Series 11 for an entire week to compare the data. Here's the review of "The Whoop Killer" and all my findings on the Google Health AI coach: https://t.co/hJm2QlCRtm

Just posted Q3 earnings. We delivered our first-ever $100B quarter driven by double-digit growth across every major part of our business. (Five years ago, our quarterly revenue was at $50B🚀)

Our full-stack approach to AI is driving real momentum and we’re shipping at speed. 

Thank you to our employees and partners around the world for the terrific quarter!

@DanielLurie @scsherrill @bilalmahmood @mattdorsey @RafaelMandelman @JoelEngardio @DannySauter Thank you @DanielLurie - could we also work on getting public transit muni buses running more frequently for big city events?

Tomorrow marks the 100th day of my administration.

San Franciscans want change. They want accountability. They need to know City Hall has their back.

It’s not political to want to feel safe walking your kids to school, opening a business, or having clean streets.

We started working before Inauguration Day—and haven’t stopped since.

For the first time in five years, people feel San Francisco is headed in the right direction.

I’m incredibly proud of what we’re building, but I’m not satisfied.

And I’m going to keep walking and talking to people each and every day, until public safety and public faith have been restored.

What I’ve learned in these first 100 days is you can’t solve what you can’t see.

That’s why when I call impromptu, on-site meetings about street conditions, we get better plans—and better results. Tent counts are now at their lowest since 2019.

To rebuild trust and public safety, we must rebuild our foundation and create the conditions for economic success. Departments must stop working in silos. Everyone must own the outcome.

And we are making progress.

➡️Street encampments are dropping.
➡️Violent crime is down 15%.
➡️Car break-ins are at a 22-year low.
➡️Hotel bookings are up 50% from last year.

Companies are also betting on San Francisco.

Databricks is investing $1 billion. Zara is expanding with a flagship store. Nintendo is coming to Union Square. We have 80 more AI office leases expected this year.

People are betting on San Francisco again.

But we cannot bank on temporary fixes. We must invest in permanent solutions for our economic success as we dig ourselves out of the nearly $1 billion budget deficit we inherited.

Over the last 100 days, we have started to break down the invisible wall that has existed between the two sides of City Hall for decades.

That's how we got to:

➡️A 10-1 vote on the Fentanyl State of Emergency Ordinance.
➡️A new unified approach to street response, replacing nine disconnected teams.
➡️A policy shift requiring individuals to accept treatment, counseling, or connections to services to receive sterile drug use supplies.
➡️A clear path to 1,500 new shelter and treatment beds.

And we’re tackling housing. We passed legislation to convert empty offices to homes, advanced our Family Zoning plan, and launched PermitSF to cut red tape.

In May, we’ll introduce more reforms to make it easier to build housing and run a small business in San Francisco.

The people of this city don’t just want change—they want to help make it happen. This is an all-hands-on-deck moment.

I love this job, and I love this city. My expectations for success are sky-high. And what’s driving me is that I know yours are too.

The people who have committed their lives to this city, the families who are enrolling in our public schools, the businesses fueling our neighborhoods, the elders who want to feel safe again on our streets—they are tired of a City Hall that does things to them instead of with them.

San Franciscans want to live in a city they feel proud to call home.

And we are going to deliver.

Together, we can win, and we will.

Let’s go, San Francisco. We’ve got work to do.

@bilalmahmood Thanks for your time at the bus stop a few weeks ago - very pumped to have you as our new supervisor. Our young family cares about public safety and we hope you can help us feel comfortable raising our family in your district.

@DanielLurie Congrats @DanielLurie - very excited to have you fighting for us and commonsense reform.

[William Goodman @goodmanw]

Godspeed to you if you're going to a party (?) to watch tonight, but I had a party in 2016 to watch the results, and the vibe shift that happened was so sudden and horrific that I'll quite simply never do that again in my life.
