fellow california cities is hurting, we all hurt. mayor london breed and san francisco fire department sent team down there friends that just heard that they saw caravan of fire trucks going down 101. so we send them our best and we hold them closely. i want also thank again, mayor london breed for your advice, your counsel, and for your tremendous service to the city and county of san francisco. thank you. >> i want to welcome the first partner of california jens siebel newsom. thank you for being with us today. mayor willie brown, who i have a front row seat for buddy

standing somewhere over there. so mayor willie brown mayor are at nos. mayor frank jordan. thank you. i want to thank our incoming board of supervisors and all of our esteemed elected guests here today. and finally, and most importantly. i want to thank all of you for being here today. today marks the beginning of a new era of accountability and change in city. all one that. >> above all else. >> serves you. the people of san francisco that begins now. i entered this mayor's race, not as a politician, but as a dad who explain to my kids what they were seeing on our streets. and that has never hit me as hard as it did last month at san francisco general

hospital. after meeting an extraordinary team of nurses, doctors, social workers, an addiction specialist. we ended. our 2 are in the nicu. there. i stood in the quiet of a nursery. surrounded by babies in critical condition. some of them recovering from fentanyl exposure. it was a heartbreaking picture of our city short comings in addressing the crisis on our streets. as i listened to the nurses talk about their tiny patients. i began to hear that familiar sound of hope. the same hope that i've heard on every street corner in every neighborhood across 7 square miles. make no mistake, hope is alive and well in san francisco. the nurse is

assured me that with the right treatment and care, these babies are incredibly resilient. they get better. after seeing an instagram post about my experience in the nicu one mother commented. 3 years ago. that was my baby and me and i want everyone in san francisco to know that recovery is possible. she said, and she's right. recovery is possible, but it needs to be more than a possibility in san francisco. it must be our mission. together. together, we can all get better, do better and return san francisco to its rightful place as the greatest city in the world. san francisco has long been known for its values of tolerance and inclusion. but nothing

about those values instructs us to allow nearly 8,000 people to experience homelessness in our city. widespread drug dealing public drug use and constantly seeing people in crisis has robbed us of our sense of decency and security. now, safety isn't just a statistic. it's a feeling you hold when you're walking down the street. that in security is harming families and businesses and the tenderloin south of market, the mission and beyond. i refuse to believe that this is who we are. you voted for accountability and change a clear mandate that my administration will work to fulfill every single day. as coach said, lasting change doesn't happen overnight. takes time. but if we are consistent, if we have vision, if we aren't afraid to make tough decisions, san francisco will rise to new heights. now

with the largest budget deficit in the history of our city, we can no longer hide from our fiscal reality. a problem of this magnitude requires us to make some painful decisions and rethink the way that we operate. we need to stop spending more than we can afford. we need to prioritize essential services and make the investments that are critical to getting san francisco up and running again. and when we come out, the other side. and we will. we must ensure that every san franciscan shares in our new prosperity from this moment forward. there is a new structure in the mayor's office. one that allows for more accountability and more opportunities for city departments to work together effectively to solve our most pressing problems. we are assembling a world-class administration, a cross section of people from every sector and point of view. we

will fight every day. for san francisco. future and a safer, more affordable city for all. we cannot continue to triage the crises that we face. if we're going to turn this city around, good intentions are not enough. strong values are not enough. we must act within unapologetic focus on results and create the solutions that last far beyond the tenure of this administration. starting today. we are treating the fentanyl crisis as the emergency. that is as we speak. as we speak, the san francisco police department and sheriff's department are rapidly shift shifting resources and personnel to bring drug dealers to justice and clean up our streets.

today. what has been a temporary effort to deal with increasing drug markets will be a permanent fixture of this administration. fentanyl crisis. isn't a 95 operation. it doesn't take breaks and neither will we. that's why i'm introducing a package of fentanyl, state of emergency ordinances. this will allow us to further surge resources and bypass the bureaucratic hurdles standing in the way of tackling this crisis. i look forward to working with the incoming board supervisors for their quick approval. i want to thank all of you for your shared commitment to defeating the scourge of fentanyl and untreated mental illness on our streets. thank you. this

authorization will fast track a public-private partnership to stand up temporary emergency shelter beds and address the homelessness crisis on our streets. it's time. it is time to move past the politics of demonizing each other on every single issue. it's time to redefine how politics works in our city. when we stand united. we send a clear message to the city and the country. that you do not come to san francisco to deal drugs or do drugs on our streets. and if you do, you will be held accountable. this is truly a new era of cooperation and mutual respect between city hall, the board of supervisors, law enforcement and the thousands

of city employees working on the front lines without you. we cannot carry on this vision for change. which is why, which is why you have my guarantee that there will be 0 cuts to sworn officers. 9-1-1, operators, emt's firefighters and nurses. our first responders who are here today looking out for all of us. thank you very much. but our first responders. they need to know that we have their back. we will do everything in our power to fully released after police department sheriff's department and 9-1-1 response team and incentivize them to stay. and let's be clso operate understanding that not every issue needs to be solved by someone with a badge and a gun. currently have at least 9

street teams operate by 5 different departments. and despite having native asked investment of resources and personnel. no one thinks the current structure is working. our first step in streamlining our crisis response is to mandate that all departments coordinate to build and maintain a single public-facing street conditions dashboard. you can't build strong solutions without good data. we will also be in betting behavioral health specialists and dedicated first responder units until now, the only options are first responders have had is to take those who are suffering from mental health issues are addiction to hospital or jail. i'm excited to announce that this spring we will open the city's first 24 7 police friendly drop-off center. this will create

better pathways to treatment and give police the authority to hold those who refuse help accountable. as we move people off the streets and into corrupt into recovery. we will also expand the journey home program providing increased transportation and support for those ready to reunite with loved ones or access care outside of san francisco. another key to producing better outcomes on our streets is to focus our investments in high-performing nonprofits service providers. this will not only save us money, it will help the city's best nonprofit shine better serve the needs of the most vulnerable san franciscans. more accountability and effective distribution of our resources will clear the path for san francisco is recovering. making our streets

safer and cleaner will supercharge the revitalization of our downtown corridor. i'm excited to announce that we will be launching the sfpd hospitality zone task force. this dedicated police unit will create more welcoming and safe environment for workers, shoppers and visitors in the union square market street in moscow. nice enter areas and not just when there's a conference in town, but when it's every single day, 365 days, a year. from engaging local artists to once again becoming a destination for world-class events and tourism. we are building the foundation for a safe urban core that is thriving and inviting to all. my job is not to demand that the private sector be back in the office every day. my job is to make

you want to be downtown again for work with your family and with your friends and let me take a moment say none of this. none of this can happen if the hotel industry is an open for business. i want to take a moment. i want to take a moment to acknowledge the hotel workers of local to and hotel management. for coming to get for coming together to reach an agreement that ended the longest hotel strike in city history. we got people back to work in time for the holidays and our hotels are welcoming visitors again, enabling us to attract and host events like the jp morgan healthcare conference next week. and the nba all-star game in february. there is no denying. no denying it. san francisco is coming back. the

there's rising sense of pride and optimism in the city right now that cannot be stopped with that momentum. we must proactively plan for the next housing and economic boom. within our first 100 days, we will take bold action to enable more housing at all income levels and help new businesses and buildings get their permits more quickly. to our small businesses who i know have been suffering. the era of a new restaurant going through 40 inspections and receiving 50 different answers is over. that's our promise to you. we can no longer wait for the right conditions to build. we must do our part to create those conditions. better coordination between departments may not sound, but it's going to be a hallmark of this administration. i'm

talking about the kind of coordination that will keep one department from tearing up your street for maintenance. and another from doing it again. 2 weeks later. we have allowed. far too many people. to lose faith in government. i know that we can restore that faith as your mayor. i'm going to take aim at the problems that need solving right here in san francisco because that is what you elected me to do. but i also know that many feel a great sense of fear and loss about the state of our country right now. i share those concerns. san francisco has long been a historic began for human rights and we cannot be complacent. attacks on lgbtq will plus rights hate crimes and the vilification of immigrant communities are happening across the country, including right here at home.

san francisco must be a city where every individual feel safe. valued and empowered. that means standing firm against discrimination and fighting for the dignity of all communities. no matter what comes our way. as your mayor. i will always tell you the truth. even when they are hard truths. the challenges ahead of us are enormous. but in the words of hearty harvey milk, you have to give them hope hope for a better world. hope for a better tomorrow. i got to tell you. as i look out on this incredible crowd. i feel that hope. that feeling on its own. it's not enough. it must be paired with the courage to act. now is the

time for action. this is where our comeback begins. there are green shoots everywhere, but my standard for success is sky high. it is. it is the greatest honor of my life. to serve as your mayor at this critical moment in our history. i'm asking all of you every single one of you. to join me in reclaiming our place as the greatest city in the world with a new era of accountability service and change. it's time to roll up our sleeves and get to work. san francisco, thank you very much.

>> and welcome back to kron. 4 special coverage of the in of the newest mayor, san francisco, daniel lurie, the 46 mayor of san francisco. he was sworn in today. just finished his speech, talking about all the changes that are coming to city hall. he believes that ties francisco. on the rise and that it's not going to be business as usual. and we're just about getting

ready to. here's some entertainment here at this point. i guess we're not going to watch the rest of the show. we have our reporters out on the giving us a recap and certainly also will be going to michael yaki to analyze what we've just heard. >> as we're keeping tabs on the fires in southern california. so a lot going on. lori spoke for exactly 20 minutes and our stephanie lin was they're listening in as well. she joins us live from civic center plaza. stephanie, what was your >> abram, you can hear behind me, people clapping having a great time out here as entertainer. i stayed there. just after daniel lurie just closed opening remarks mayor of the city san francisco. i'm gonna step out of the brain years. you can get a sense what the scene looks like out here live in san francisco now in his opening remarks, mister thank the outgoing mayor london breed for her support.

all this historic he also announced as he's promised on the campaign trail that he's introducing a package fentanyl, state of emergency ordinances to address crisis and deaths on city streets. this has been a major concern for voters. and we also know for public safety. also another major concern for severance is going reserve a sunday launch, a dedicated policing units specific to the downtown area. we're talking about union square in moscow in the center highly attractive areas. he's way to help police out there year-round and notably breaking tradition today. lurie also took the oath of office from a community member that he met through at a property nonprofits. get point. now i spoke with lori staffers. they're all throughout the crowd here today. they're excited. they tell me to get the work started. but they also know that the new mayor who's got a lot of work ahead of them. sources tell me that biggest issue is the 176 million budget deficit. know murray talked about during his opening remarks question is

can balanced the budget without slashing those essential services and any work with the labor unions who did not endorse him during the campaign to make this happen or just now in those opening remarks, didn't promise 0 versus firefighters i spoke with a current student court commissioner who was also a small business owner here in san francisco. and here's what he said. he hopes the new mayor will i'm a small business advocate, you with a small business people are big. >> and, you know, doing the struggle says covid so out with the hopefully with mayor lori and his staff as well. this is will be on the upper agenda. so we all have to work together, especially a public safety. so we're looking forward to see what what develops from that? well, he's got a lot to catch up. you know, he's got a lot to learn as far as big in city hall, which is mask and away. you know that there's so many layers to hopefully he can simplify these things and maybe we could move forward a lot quicker. because that's what they think is the delays.

a small business. people want open a small business. san francisco, but sometimes it just takes too long. we're hoping that some of that will be cut or a lower down. >> and back here live center plaza in san francisco. the energy here. what cause a lot of people a feeling that sense hope and optimism that the new mayor, those opening remarks, he kept repeating that word. hope. and he's hoping that folks really put their faith in him as he takes on his first 100 days office. now today's ceremony does wrap 12:30pm. so just a few moments here the crowd out here is going to end to city hall where they can get photo opportunity with a new mayor this 200. that's where the mayor does business. and well, i try to stick around to get some reaction from folks here francisco. >> reporting live from civic center plaza san francisco. i'm stephanie conforto's. stephanie, some good

information. there certainly was getting a little bit loud, but >> very important point that she made. lori says, look at week. >> we can't just keep spending our way out of these problems that there's not enough in the budget to handle that. and yet he also said that they didn't want to have any cuts to essential services. emt's police, fire, et cetera, et cetera. so that's going to be quite a balancing so much is made of. >> oakland's budget deficit, which is just north of 100 million dollars. san francisco is is closing in on a billion. so both cities that have the bay in between them are dealing with really difficult issues. now mayor lori is trying to paint today in an optimistic light. he says that says nature, stephanie referenced the effort to, you know, have sort of a cleaner, safer downtown area around this county center. not just win conferences might be there. you know, when sales force is

hopping, looks great. you don't see a homeless person that you don't see any kind of crime. he said it's a going to be a 365 day. your proposition and has a name for it. the sfpd hospitality zone task force. so fancy name >> our political expert michael yaki has been listening along with us seas with us on zoom. michael, would you think? >> 20 minutes. pretty good. look, this is. there's there 10 pack speech. i think that aside from the promise of police staff, the police and responders and nurses in place. and there things that that talked about essentially we're about cuts targeting high-performing nonprofits. what does that mean? i can tell you that there are what a nonprofit in the city they all have friends, someone's train.

or somebody doxa, they turn gore you back and is these are the kinds of things that you encounter going forward. i mean, a 1 billion dollar deficit. it's not just a simple matter cuts. it's also a matter of holding the line because san francisco has with cold get in here and structural deficit, which is we have whether it's retirement pensions. hospital, hospital requirements. these are things that we have to spend money on. it's it's almost like united states government has been kind of a pardon, which is totally separate from the budget that we don't have that luxury. and san francisco all combined into one. so what i hear and what i think may happen, you know, it's it's going to beat you and want to speculate. but i can certainly by my budget, graner was swirling around about. how you could try and close that gavin report their you are in in the city that

that could when you when you say that you're you're going to fully employed the police and the nurses, whatever, what does that mean in terms of race was into the cost of living? these are the kinds of things that i think we're going to be seen coming out over the next few weeks. >> so michael and interesting point, also, as stephanie was talking to a person in the restaurant world who you know and you hear this one meant a lot, you know, trying open a business, run a business in san francisco is exhausting. and so i think lori pointed to, you know, you have love 40 inspections in your place and your small business and you get 50 different answers from city hall that's quite a lot of red tape that he's going to have to trim back how you can receives. interesting because i is when 1000 city hall we have the same kind of concerns.

>> and complaints, you should have one stop shopping when it comes here from its with that you shouldn't be putting a merry-go-round. i he talked about the digging up the streets. i actually i actually wrote a law that that that do with that to stop the stop that process. require coordination 3g p through. if you're if you're a gps location between all the different departments make. didn't do that really digging and digging into streets. i thought that was something that miami fired. i think i had like a 5 or ten-year sunset on. but if you change. some things, change, some things remain the same. and the fact that these are all coming back, if i think something that can be sold because we i remember working with mayor brown to deal with a lot of these issues and to reduce bureaucracy and and to stop stop to the streets from being we've got 25 times. i'm

surprised that it's still there. surprised came back. but i think these are the kind of thing that a strong mayor. so who has the facility to work with the bureaucracy can get it to get a handle. and i think that that's really cost that much money. the bigger issue is still going to be. how does he close that? 876 million dollar budget deficit. and where's it going to come from? how are the cuts going to be made, especially when you are we in his speech, he was basically creating. a set of new programs and the senate and promises on full staffing has always been used as a budget. rick, is just going to try close different in the past. well. >> i listen, that's not a topic. i you know, the budget certainly. i it's like dieting, right? you've got it so much. and there's no reset and there's reported work that city. it has here. boy, you

know, one of the problems we had businesses and people weren't coming back to the office. visitors were leaving after the pandemic and and then we had the ghost town in union square financial district still right. so he's got the real challenge to to try bring those businesses back and also the office workers. he did mention in his speak, that speech that he's not gonna try to force them to come back. he wants to create an environment where they want to come back to work that's a lot to overcome. when you're, you know, working at home. >> yeah, when you can when working your you know, this is this is a again, these are the kinds challenges that anyone is going to be he's got a lot. he's up. certainly put it to a very nice vision. what he wants to do, he can some good applause lines, but like i said, this is his day. he took his moment. this is th is i gave that he'll always

remember tomorrow or, you know, in the next 45 minutes, the hard part begins. and that is and taking a staff and getting getting a handle on the vast bureaucracy costs and budgets of city hall in figuring out how before the state of the city would usually february comes you know, in terms of how he's going to be making the steps going forward, you know, high-performing nonprofits that you really interesting phrase. and i'm sure that that there and profit leaders out there in the community are thinking high-performing, i define it because, you know, they also employ a lot of people san francisco as well because we we contract out a lot of services and a lot of functions to the nonprofit community. hope your socks are comfy. you about tonight's celebration? if we want to keep it positive here for a

moment. >> it's the first time in history. i believe that there's going to be an inauguration night celebration in chinatown. yeah, night market there they're shutting down the street with a beer garden. 100,000 firecrackers are supposed to go off outside the the far east restaurant lion dancers and then inside, you have $1000 tables, 9 course meal. it's a whole to do. what does it mean that now? mayor lori has chosen chinatown for this historic event. >> well, i think pretty clear in the past 4 years. it's been the emergence, asian-american community, particularly the chinese american community in san francisco has as more than just political constituency to be rude, but a political force in their own right with regard and especially when you saw the rolls that they they played with regard to recalling of the school board,

some of the proposition that around the ballot. i mean, this is a business is a now long overdue recognition of the importance of the of the cia's american community. and i think this is great this is a this is this is long overdue. given our history in this city are role in history. the fact we we played a major role in ditch in the determination of the constitution. the united states by 3 chinese americans taking arm the better very races services government creating a meeting to the equal protection law who was in the in the government of birthright citizenship. these are things that. that change american critic in san francisco, by their own at a time when they were extremely impressed at the time when there's extreme racism and here, you know, they taking

their power and there's it's recognition by the mayor. i think wonderful. i think it's great. >> another aside we we met, we were introduced to him. becca, proud i'm sure you know her well. she is familiar to those in state government. she's scheduler for governor newsom. the the governor right. and and and the first lady now. so tell me a little bit about her. and will she be hands-on and will she? she leaves of, you know, working for the governor's office and devote herself full-time to san francisco. >> i anticipate that she probably will maybe not right away, but but i think that san francisco is a job where. it takes more than to get things get things done and being able to go out there is that and this mayor shown and the

candidate that he was very grassroots or anything. and he was someone who who worked with the community who working came from the community, nonprofit sector and having partner as a his wife out there to help pull pull the lever indoors. i think it's gonna be really important grams. i would not be surprises here. now you resign her post with the governor and the the sort of first partner, san francisco. i think great thing and then the products along and this english, you know, living engine family in san francisco are known many of them over the years. i think this is something where that those kinds ties which are important, i think for people accepting has a non politician as is going to be important. i think her being there with them with those same kind of ties. it's going to be important success. now,

the sudden the kids to take and sawyer. >> their dads, the mayor. so that make school whole lot different and we'll see them grow up. so all the best to that family mayor lori has has 3 main goals, michael, that that he's been talking about. number one public safety talking about 500 or so cops that forces down in order to get it back to a proper staffing corruption at city hall, which seemingly relentless in this city and then the homeless issue. he's vowed to get 1500 bed set up to to get homeless folks into shelter. certainly there are but you got to start somewhere of those 3 initiatives, which is most attainable. >> that's a good one. i

finding 500 additional police officers is going to be good news. going to be dodging other question the 500 ish north 500 new? you know, important is that is their rotation offered. i mean, these are the kind again. i've been around this for a long time. the budget magic that that everyone city hall does a trade deal with these things is something that we kind of make your head spin and probably bore everyone to tears and tear out there turn off their tv's right now. i'm not going to do that, but i think that which can be issues, it's not just the homeless energy noted that that basically what he was saying is that you come in if you accept treatment, you will. you will. i mean, never the treatment area area, which is line to the homeless situation. but if you're someone who was a drug user, you have an option of getting the bed getting treatment or going to jail. and that's something that we haven't really seen in terms of school not naturally put out there

quite quite so bluntly it can be, you see how that plays in in the city in the different communities. but it certainly you kind of talk that people want to hear. and again. if this last election proves anything, it's that people want. a little more. yeah. when comes to dealing with crime and dealing with the with the with the drug drug crime on our streets. well, bottom line, and he made this point. stats are one thing. >> but a citizen has to feel safe when they're walking down the street and he seems to be committed to that. >> we need to take my and i think that was one of the things that connect london breed is that if that if section of 49 er to get shein union square was mean for the average person, right? like a hold that thought? can you hang with us? we have to take a quick break. all right.

welcome back to our continuing coverage. 2 big stories. we are tracking the devastating wildfires in southern california. >> that palace aides fire has become the most destructive now la history with more than 1000 structures destroyed a 2 people have died and another fire near. pasadena, altadena fire. so we're keeping an eye on that and we'll break in accordingly. also, of course, we have been talking about the swearing-in of san francisco is new mayor daniel lurie is now in charge. yeah, we heard certainly from the mayor. we'll try to effort to get some clips from that. but

>> meantime, a name we all know. the coach for the golden state warriors, steve kerr, he had something to say. let's go ahead >> mayor-elect lori is going to give us inspiration and a vision. he will listen. and he will provide the political guidance we need to navigate the issues we face. but ultimately the citizens of san francisco will determine what kind of city we will be. we have an incredibly fertile environment for the city to thrive. in fact, the same things that made the warriors a sleeping giant a decade ago are the thingsathat give san francisco the opportunity to be one of the great cities of the world. brilliant, innovative minds, amazing academic institutions, financial power, hub of technology. innovation. natural beauty. amazing food, wine culture. incredible people who have a passion and energy for life that is palpable every single day. i feel it in that chase. every game night.

>> steve kerr, busy man got the key to the city from then mayor london breed just last week and now here he was. that was right before the new mayor was sworn in. so steve kerr has his hand in a little bit of everything in his right if san francisco can be like the warriors 10 years ago, which would be what, 2014, just a year before they won their first of 4 championships. yeah, i think daniel lurie would take that i think changing the guard in san

welcome back. a san francisco officially has a new mayor

today. daniel lurie sworn in as the city's 40th mayor. >> our political expert michael yaki has been kind enough to join us for our special coverage here. michael, we want to play a sound bite from the mayor and then get your reaction on the other side. >> here we today marks the beginning of a new era of accountability and change in city. all one that. >> above all else. >> serves you. the people of san francisco that begins now. i entered this mayor's race, not as a politician, but as a dad who explain to my kids what they were seeing on our streets. and that has never hit me as hard as it did last month at san francisco general hospital. after meeting an extraordinary team of nurses, doctors, social workers, an

addiction specialist. we ended. our 2 are in the nicu. there. i stood in the quiet of a nursery. surrounded by babies in critical condition. some of them recovering from fentanyl exposure. it was a heartbreaking picture of our city short comings in addressing the crisis on our streets. as i listened to the nurses talk about their tiny patients. i began to hear that familiar sound of hope. the same hope that i've heard on every street corner in every neighborhood across 7 square miles. make no mistake, hope is alive and well in san francisco. the nurse is assured me that with the right treatment and care, these babies are incredibly resilient. they get better.

after seeing an instagram post about my experience in the nicu one mother commented. 3 years ago. that was my baby and me and i want everyone in san francisco to know that recovery is possible. she said, and she's right. recovery is possible, but it needs to be more than a possibility in san francisco. it must be our mission. together. together, we can all get better, do better and return san francisco to its rightful place as the greatest city in the world. >> all right. that was just a portion of the 20 minute speech that daniel lurie gave today. you know, michael cera as it is known as a very tolerant place, great, inclusive. but he pretty much, you know, address the fact that, you nothing about those
