Daniel Lurie has been in office as San Francisco's mayor for nearly 100 days, during which he has implemented various strategies to address homelessness and drug-related challenges. He established initiatives including a 'triage center' to mitigate drug issues and increased police presence in key areas. Lurie believes while immediate actions may involve police intervention, the long-term solution requires enhancing support services for those in need. He continues to seek legislative support to expedite necessary contracts, aiming for a significant improvement in the city over the next period.
During the interview, Lurie acknowledged that, although he doesn't want to keep chasing drug dealers around town, the city will 'have to do it for a little bit' to change San Francisco's reputation as a place that tolerates open-air drug use.
Lurie stated that he understands that the city will not 'arrest our way out of this problem' and needs to get people 'into the help that they need.'
Despite an increased police presence and new initiatives, Lurie recognized that there are limits to what can be done without adequate services and shelter beds.
Lurie discussed his campaign promises to tackle homelessness, drug markets, and city cleanliness, and his plan to revitalize downtown San Francisco.
