San Francisco will see the return of 8,000 city workers to the office for at least four days a week starting Monday. Mayor Daniel Lurie mandated that only one remote workday per week is allowed, aiming to restore staff levels to pre-pandemic numbers. This initiative is expected to bolster local businesses, like Chao Pescao, which are preparing for increased foot traffic. Additionally, transit agencies BART and Muni are facing significant budget deficits and anticipate more riders as workers return to downtown areas.
Starting Monday, 8,000 San Francisco city workers will return to the office for at least four days a week, part of a mandate from Mayor Daniel Lurie.
