"We are now just about one year in to the Daniel Lurie administration in San Francisco, and it's not hard to say that he has chalked up a number of wins so far, and managed to avoid too many fumbles save for that one supervisor appointment debacle. And maybe it's dumb to try to parse what he's been materially responsible for in SF's ongoing turnaround and change of mood, and what was already in motion before he took office."
""We lost our way as a city," Lurie says in the interview. "I think we got away from the basics of government. Now, today, if you come to San Francisco to commit a crime, we're going to catch you and we're going to prosecute you. If you come to San Francisco to do drugs, we're going to prosecute you.""
Daniel Lurie’s first year as mayor coincides with visible improvements in San Francisco and growing public approval. Media coverage and street praise have amplified his perceived role in the city’s turnaround. Lurie emphasizes returning to government basics and promises stricter enforcement against crime and drug offenses. Some city actions, including arrests for drug use, began during the prior administration and involved the district attorney's office appointed under that leadership. Observers note a mixture of accomplishments and a notable supervisor appointment misstep, while debate continues over how much change is attributable to his direct leadership.
