We sat down with the leader of the storied city that WIRED calls home.
Yeah. And that's gonna continue to be a struggle because people go into business because they want to make money and they want to be wealthy, and so you're not gonna be able to get away from folks who choose to do that. But what I will say is that companies are becoming more intentional about supporting the surrounding community and not just flying in the next new talent or what have you. The talent is right here, and so that's part of it.
We know what the problems are, so how do we make those investments? We've given down-payment assistance for people to buy homes, which has been extraordinary. I met these families and you know, in tears about the ability, never thinking they could buy a home in San Francisco in their lives.
And so I'm really proud of the investments the city's making, and also being intentional about getting more companies to be more open to supporting the community in a way that's gonna help bring people along. Rather than doing something to the city, it's doing something for the city. And I think we're gonna get there.You talked about how you're excited for what the city could become.
