Lurie said he sees nothing ideological in the vote that brought him to office or the promises he made as a candidate. “There’s nothing progressive about 810 people dying of fentanyl overdoses on our streets,” he said, citing a 2023 statistic. “There’s nothing progressive about having families have to stand at a bus stop while somebody is using drugs openly. There’s nothing in San Francisco’s DNA that says we have to tolerate, you know, people walking into stores and taking what they want.”
Well, damn.
