The silent business killer that will sink San Francisco... Prop C - Gross receipts tax on companies' revenue above $50m. This is a well intentioned law that was supported by the far left and certain members of the business community like @Benioff but it has been a disaster.

People in San Francisco want to know why Union Square is largely vacant. Or why all the Walgreens stores, Whole Foods, Target, or all the mom & pop places are closing? Or why In-N-Out is leaving Oakland. The answer is Prop 47. It essentially legalized theft under $950.

This young addict relocated to San Francisco from Boston 4 months ago. He came here because “San Francisco has everything I need” The city gives him cash general assistance, there are cheap drugs everywhere, and there is no chance of jail or being hassled by cops. This is

We spend billions on homelessness with zero ROI and problem is getting worse. I’d prefer a high quality subway system that is clean and new like you find in Japan.

A week or so ago i had a tweet that went viral about how SFUSD was sadly failing SF kids on almost every possible measurable. I got some backlash. Here is a shining example of how ineffective SFUSD leadership is. $40m wasted.... On a payroll system.... that doesn't work...

We've now spent $40 million on a payroll system for teachers, that doesn't pay its teachers on time. San Franciscans just want a city that works.

Here's a jaw dropping fact about the San Francisco commercial office market..... Right now, buildings in the downtown core are selling for $200-$300/SqFt which is equal to or less than the cost to build out a space from shell condition. Interiors costing more to build than the

Forgot to mention - @BART leadership plans to continue to run deficits with the hope of national and state bailouts. This is ineffective planning. Any large state/national subsidies should be used to extend the system not simply keep it running .

@eric_young_1 That is solvable! Just need to remove all of the red tape (temporarily remove or delay affordability requirements, defer taxes, remove union labor requirements, upzone, reduce permit times, eliminate CEQUA challenges, etc.)

@DeanPreston Anti-capitalist? Blanket statements like this aren’t productive. If a developer can build something that creates net new units, both affordable and market rate......Why disincentivize that? We need net new units fast. Partnership not obstruction is the way forward.

@dmalcolmcarson Unfortunately that’s not the case. There was strong opposition to extending it. In fact, the tunnel to North Beach station is already dug but NIMBY’s didn’t want it

Where does the San Francisco office market stand? From a 10,000 foot vantage point things are scattered but generally trending upward.... slowly. For savvy buyers, workplace leaders, and companies, there is opportunity abound. The Good: - Demand up to pre-pandemic 2020 levels

Met @MarjanPhilhour at my sister in law’s house in the Richmond District. She is down to earth, has common sense, has lived on the west side her whole life, and she will help fix San Francisco. Marjan > Connie Chan Vote for her in the DCCC election on March 5. It’s crucial.

@DeanPreston Democrats are leading these recalls sir. Also, as voters we can use our right to recall as we see fit, and dereliction of duty is 100% appropriate. Democracy will have its day at the ballot box

A generational real estate opportunity is coming to San Francisco. Lots of amazing assets will be acquired at historically low prices. Sure, many buildings are functionally obsolete and will need to be demolished and rebuilt. Lots of good assets with long term value
