Daniel Lurie, the mayor of San Francisco, wants to return his city to a day of glory. And he is often convinced that technical leaders who pursue their utopian ideals can help to deliver him.
Lurie said at TechCrunch’s StrictlyVC event on Thursday night, “It’s a market for calling and calling the CEO.“ How can I keep you here? ” Or ‘How can we take you back? “
He said that the first step to reclaim these people is to solve the widespread drugs and homeless crises that have pushed many business leaders out of the city. Lurie spent a lot of time walking in the most difficult area in the city for the first 100 days. This week, he rolled back a long program that distributed free pipes, foil and straws used by San Francisco to take drugs such as pentanil.
Lurie’s “Common Sense Policies” is a champion by technical leaders when he calls in the 2024 market campaign. Ryan Peterson, CEO of Flexport, shouted to Lurie as the San Francisco market walked when he left the stage on Strictlyvc.
“Thank you for cleaning the city a little.”
In addition to public safety initiatives, Lurie emphasized the need to build a house in San Francisco and build a “construction” that mentions business creation.
The city recently unveiled the new initiative CERMIT SF.
On Thursday, the market also introduced a new zone setting proposal that allows larger buildings (and therefore more housing) in areas where only single -family homes allow them. Passing it can be the first call of San Francisco since 1970.
“We want entrepreneurs to stay here after starting their business.” This means to simplify permits and to start a restaurant, bar or startup more easily. “
“What we need more is that people are gathered together and are practical. We have lost it in San Francisco.” The business community that has not been left here understands our value and will attract business in the next few years. “
AI hub construction
As part of this effort, Lurie said, “I want to be competitive on the tax front.” The Mayor of San Francisco said he has already established more offices with major AI companies in the city and holds more meetings in the city.
For example, Lurie said that instead of moving to Las Vegas, as originally planned, he persuaded the data business to hold the AI conference in San Francisco by 2030. Last month, the market attended the ribbon cutting of the new OpenAI office.
The AI company can receive tax exemptions, but the market wants to invest in San Francisco in a different way. In particular, he wants Openai CEO Sam Altman to “loudly” investments in San Francisco’s arts and cultural scenes. He says the company is already quiet.
But Lurie does not want the dollar of the technology industry and follows the idea. The city recently announced the partnership of San Francisco (Atlantic Jobs, Steves Jobs Widow Widow Widow Widow Widow Widow Widow Widow Widow Lauren Powel Jobs).
SF’s Robo T other
However, some San Franciscos are concerned that the technology industry is pursuing another community. When Waymo tried to obtain permission to map the SFO airport, the recent tension and robot Laksis allows you to take riders traveling to and from the airport.
Waymo has successfully granted SFO mapping permission, but provided strict sculptures so that Waymo does not move commercial products from the airport. Thanks to the international team member, the delivery driver has great power at the San Francisco City Hall.
Lurie made a deal with a trade union to get Waymo’s SFO permission, but “Waymo will not go anywhere.”
The market was convinced that the autonomous driving car is a “future where the future is going,” and that they are talking with other companies about having greater beings in the city. Lurie also did not exclude the city’s infrastructure construction to accommodate more autonomous vehicles.
Most of the innovation of the technology industry has historically occurred in Silicon Valley, about 40 miles south of the city, but the AI boom looks firm at the center of San Francisco. Lurie says that it has given a momentum that reinvests the city to the city.
“When we are over, everyone must be in San Francisco. Otherwise I am missing.” That’s where we go. ”Lurie said.
