This guy has been in power since 2001. If there is one person who bears responsibility for SF becoming unsafe, unaffordable and unfriendly to families, it’s him. The best thing you can do to change SF is to leave him out of the ballot.

SF spends $668M / yr to “house” 7.7k homeless people, without accounting for health, police, DPW and other costs. That’s $86k / homeless. $2k in tax per SF household. The average annual rent in SF is $38k. Raise your hand if you’re wondering where this $$ is going 🖐️

2 nights ago a car was set on fire. Last night, a gun battle. The Tenderloin is a cartel hellhole! Yet local supervisor @DeanPreston thinks putting people in jail is wrong and all we need is “community ambassadors”. How bad does it have to get for him to acknowledge reality?

@I_Heart_Frisco Jim, your reluctance to acknowledge SF's challenges is puzzling. Dismissing valid concerns with "SF is beautiful" and "that's city life" oversimplifies the issues. Can you clarify how overlooking these problems benefits our city's future?
