Building by building, we're rebuilding the Tenderloin. A corner store that was operating as gambling den will now be turning into a community center for families, children, and more. Congrats to the TLCBD on taking over 200 Leavenworth. And sparking the revitalization of a neighborhood.

Exclusive: Tenderloin reclaims one of its most notorious corners after 10-year fight

If buildings could have rap sheets, this San Francisco property had a long one. Now it’s set to become a community center at an important intersection in the Tenderloin.

Proud of my friend @dannysauter.bsky.social leading the way to create San Francisco's first inventory of city-owned property for potential housing sites. Building on municipal property is faster and cheaper.

Same block. Different city after dark. By day, parts of the Tenderloin look like any other SF street. At night, the drug market comes back, and the 3,500 kids who live here still can't walk home safely.

This evening I joined dozens of Tenderloin families as part of the first Citywide Community Needs Assessment.

Did you know if you tried to open a Trader Joe's, Grocery Outlet, or soon even a Mollie Stone's in San Francisco - you can't? That's because SF has outdated rules that limit new chain stores - even grocery stores and pharmacies - from opening. So today I announced legislation to fix it.

PG&E tried to block municipal power in SF, because they said it'd endanger the "Crotch's bumble bee". I kid you not.

47th Haight Ashbury Street Fair is a wrap! Thousands of people from across the Bay Area came to the Haight, and I asked folks throughout the day what made the festival special for them. So many answered: the food, the music, the art, the families.

When you bring technologists and civil servants together, we can find new ways to help our city. Yesterday I joined CityCamp SF in Hayes Valley, a community-driven unconference by SF Civic Tech bringing together software engineers and city staff to brainstorm ways to improve city services.

This afternoon we joined the Children's Council in their annual fair, bringing together over 1000 children, families, and providers. The Council has connected nearly 7000 children in recent years to $100M+ in financial assistance to childcare, supporting 120+ new childcare businesses.

The Tenderloin is home to hundreds of Arab families, and yet no clothing stores for their community. That changed today. Today we celebrated the grand opening of Sheba Clothing and Gifts which will offer goods sourced from across the Middle East.

This time last year, there was a spike in gun violence amongst the Tenderloin youth. We moved quickly, and I partnered with United Playaz and TLCBD to set up the neighborhood's first Youth Violence Prevention Program.

When we took office, the Tenderloin had more vacant storefronts than it had restaurants or cafes. Now, the city is investing in new small businesses to open in the TL. Today we celebrated the opening of Niebla, one of the first new bookstores and cafes to open in the Tenderloin in years.

Significant incidents of mass theft, lacking mold and asbestos inspections, and mass evictions have been reported at Domus Management run buildings in the Fillmore. So we have called for a hearing to hold Domus accountable at the government audit and oversight committee on October 1st at 10am.

There were 900 dog attacks citywide last year - double the year before. Over 20% of all dog attacks last month were in the Tenderloin. Accordingly, I've introduced a resolution this week to strengthen dog safety protocols at city-funded shelters, transitional housing, and supportive housing sites.

I stand with our musicians in their negotiations for fair wages. At risk is musicians potentially having their salaries returned to 2015 levels. I have accordingly spoken to representatives for both the musicians and the Opera, and made clear thatour artists deserve higher wages.

Have water leak, damaged ceiling, or no heat in your building? The city can help. A common issue we hear about from constituents are substandard conditions in large buildings often owned by corporate landlords. If you find yourself in one of these situations and it isn't being fixed - report it.

Bad news: Amidst an affordability crisis, elected officials in San Francisco are seeking to hasten the freezing of whole neighborhoods in amber through historic landmark streamlining legislation. But here's the good news...

What happened in the Tenderloin today is horrifying and unacceptable. A woman was seriously injured in a vicious dog attack on our streets, and my heart goes out to her and everyone who witnessed it.

Today we announced $85MM to help households to electrify their homes and transition to the green economy. With a significant percent of carbon emissions still coming from gas-powered homes built before 1948, we need investments in tech to help us transition to electric heat pumps and water heaters.

There is no downtown recovery without economic investment in the Tenderloin. We must invest in safety, economic development, and workforce expansion to bring a true revitalization to the neighborhood. But that investment is currently lacking.

Shutting down drug markets requires a multifaceted approach of enforcement and prevention. Organizations like Urban Alchemy are an essential part of that prevention. And the data proves it: 20% reduction in overall crime, including reductions in drug crime and behavioral health-related crime.

Recently we were removed from key posts on the Board of Supervisors. Now a coalition of housing, labor, and advocacy orgs are noting this amounted to political retaliation.

As corporate grocery stores keep closing in SF, residents in the Fillmore came together yesterday to advocate for a different model: grocery co-ops. Co-ops allow the community to chart its own destiny to meet the needs of community. In how they hire, how they price, and how they source food.

Addressing public safety requires enforcement and prevention. Over the last year, my office has been working with city departments on a different approach to crime prevention: immediate enforcement through foot patrols combined with environmental design changes.
