It's been wonderful to see & support so many positive changes in Mission Bay.

Over past 2 years: new parks (w more to come), roads, bike lanes, dozens of new stores on 4th street, some of the city's most vibrant outdoor spaces, multiple affordable housing bldgs, & a new arena.
There's lots of awesome new small businesses on the way on 4th street, a preschool, a new K-5 school in a few years, and a lot more.

Very proud to represent this neighborhood and grateful for all the work put into its positive growth.
4th street especially was largely just vacant storefronts 2 years ago. Now it's becoming a vibrant corridor. We've got activities and mini golf. An OPEN dog park. Many good things happening here.
If you haven't been to Mission Bay lately, come check it out. I can't wait to see everything reopen fully. This summer will be a great time for Mission Bay and the surrounding area.

Public bathrooms are not the cause of homelessness.
I authored a law at beginning of the pandemic requiring dozens of new 24 hour bathrooms, including near encampments.

Why because human dignity, human rights, a pandemic, general public health.

Any suggestion that they themselves cause homelessness is sad and ridiculous.
We are going to do everything to make sure these bathrooms remain post pandemic. Because it's common sense. Helps improve health and cleanliness. And because in one of the wealthiest cities in the world everyone should have a place to go.

Last year, we introduced a law to ensure no supportive housing tenant pays more than 30% of their limited income in rent.

Mayor @LondonBreed committed to fund this in her upcoming budget.

A huge victory for our supportive housing tenants, fairness, & justice. @30rightnow
Thank you Mayor Breed for your support and commitment. We made this clear it would be a priority. And to all the supportive housing tenants who came together with us to make this happen. Image
This will have an immediate impact on thousands of people’s lives who are some of the poorest people in our city. It could make the difference between eating or not eating or accessing critical healthcare or staying in their home for these tenants.

San Francisco has long been a home to startups and innovation. In digital music, biotech, social media, ed tech, software--countless innovative startups have got off the ground here, drawn from and added to the technology ecosystem and talent here, grown and thrived.
These startups have been a huge source of jobs & economic growth in our city, and have created technologies and products that have changed the way we interact across the entire globe. It is something that we should be proud of, and our city has benefitted from.
During the pandemic & before, we’ve seen businesses struggle to stay in the City, including startups, some close or leave, & fundamental changes in structure of work that will have long lasting impacts on our city.

All the data says that fully vaccinated people **do not** carry the virus and cannot pass it to others.

That is huge.

The CDC Director made that clear today.
"During an MSNBC interview with Rachel Maddow on Monday, Walensky said: "Our data from the CDC today suggests that vaccinated people do not carry the virus, don't get sick, and that it's not just in the clinical trials but it's also in real-world data"

With the stimulus & COVID reserve, SF has over billion dollars available to fund urgent priorities.

We still face a longer term structural deficit.

Small biz relief, reserves, transit, schools, homelessness, UBI--many needs.

How would you like to see SF prioritize these funds?
This will also be a huge public conversation in the coming months with many hearings at committee, and proposals from the Mayor and Board.

I have my own thoughts, but what are yours?

Especially interested in one time spending priorities and urgent immediate needs.
I believe strongly that we need to make these decisions with full partnership and transparency with our constituents and with the broader public.

Contra Costa County is planning to expand coronavirus vaccine eligibility this week to *everyone* 16 and older who lives or works in the county.

It does seem clear, despite repeated deferring to the state, that county health departments can expand eligibility at own discretion.
For months now there's been a lot of confusion how much wider counties could expand eligibility beyond what the state allowed for.

Most of the time when we asked if a group/category could be prioritized, our DPH said they couldn't because of the state.
Now some counties are able to apparently open it to anyone immediately. So it does seem that at least as things stand now, counties can make their own decisions on this for the next few weeks before the expansion to all adults on April 15.
