Mayor Lurie Marks 100 Days, Debates Policy Impact

San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie marked his first 100 days in office, citing significant reductions in crime, including a 30% citywide drop and a 22-year low in car break-ins, which he attributes to increased police hiring and targeted law enforcement efforts. Lurie also emphasized economic revitalization and visible downtown improvements. However, former Mayor Willie Brown and some supervisors argue that many gains stem from prior policies and caution that persistent challenges like housing and police staffing require sustained focus. Lurie's new policies include limiting shelter stays for unhoused families to six months and ending the distribution of free drug supplies unless recipients enter treatment, both of which have sparked debate. Some residents and business leaders report cleaner streets, though concerns remain about the displacement of homelessness and addiction issues. Lurie acknowledges ongoing challenges and reiterates his commitment to continued progress.
