The election of Daniel Lurie as mayor of San Francisco is causing major shifts in the city's political landscape, particularly among its wealthy elite. Luri's arrival has stirred a reaction similar to the challenges faced by the Polish regime when Karol Wojtyła became Pope. While groups like TogetherSF struggle after failing to align with Lurie, others, like Neighbors for a Better San Francisco, attempt to redefine their strategies to gain the new mayor's favor, highlighting the underlying tensions in local politics, especially regarding affiliations with controversial figures like Jay Cheng.
When he got the news, one apparatchik purportedly said, into an open microphone, 'My God, my God, from now on we'll have to kiss his ass.'
This contributed to a great disturbance in the force for the city's wealthy and politically active.”
Thus begins the awkward campaign of the city's richest rich-guy groups to, shall we say, ingratiate themselves with Lurie - but, again, only if he lets them.
Shortly after the election, the mild-mannered Lurie made it known that he didn't want to be associated with Neighbors executive director Jay Cheng.
