My classmates and I have already experienced the impact of the city's budget woes: A few days ago, I was rejected from an internship with the SF City Administrator's office due to the current budget woes of the Daniel Lurie administration.

I find it very telling that San Francisco describes itself as "a city that celebrates Black culture" but has elected a mayor (Daniel Lurie) who has done absolutely nothing to prevent the gentrification and displacement of Black San Franciscians.

@fitzthereporter.bsky.social Just in case you are seeking an unpaid intern for the San Francisco Standard 😃

@jesseofoz.bsky.social The most important piece of advice I can give you is not to give up hope. Hope is that thing inside us that insists, despite all evidence to the contrary, that something better awaits us if we have the courage to reach for it, and to work for it, and to fight for it.

@fitzthereporter.bsky.social Are you sure that my question(s) and concern(s) will be answered by anyone who supports Daniel Laurie and his "administration"? For example, I don't support the criminalization of poverty in San Francisco, yet I am seeing more residents support such draconic methods.

Are you confident that the billionaires and millionaires of the Bay Area will actually invest in housing? One billionaire, Marc Andreessen, a billionaire tech investor, and his wife Laura Arrillaga-Andreessen have opposed housing developments in the town of Atherton.
