The newly elected mayor of San Francisco pledges to tackle the city's cleanliness issues and address the homelessness crisis.

Daniel Lurie, San Francisco's incoming mayor, pledged to address the city's homelessness, crime, and drug overdose issues by cleaning up the streets before taking office.

"During a city walking tour, a woman requested Lurie to clean up the streets and address the homeless issue, which Lurie responded to by saying "We'll take care of it.""

Lurie, a first-time candidate and heir to the Levi Strauss Foundation, campaigned on ending the perception that lawlessness is acceptable in San Francisco. He won the election in November, defeating incumbent Mayor London Breed.

"Lurie stated on the walk, as reported by the WSJ, that our city is the greatest in the world when we are at our best. He added that if he had to make a bet on a city that would recover and excel even more than before, it would be our city."

According to the WSJ, the mayor-elect stated that he ran for mayor because he struggled to explain San Francisco's decline to his children.

He exclaimed, 'I couldn't bear to stand by. This is our city and I adore it with all my heart.'

According to the WSJ, Lurie intends to proclaim a state of emergency regarding the fentanyl crisis, increase the size of San Francisco's police force, and encourage his City Hall employees to resume working in person full-time.

Lurie appointed Sam Altman as the chair of his transition team and named Ned Segal, the former CFO of Twitter, to a new position as the chief of housing and economic development.

Lurie, who won a 10-point victory over Breed, stated to CNN that he desired to focus on practical policies.

"Lurie, a lifelong Democrat, stated that they do not identify as progressives, moderates, or conservatives in San Francisco. Instead, they aim to return to common sense and prioritize delivering the basics. This is the mandate that Lurie was elected to fulfill."

"Ensuring a fully staffed police department and controlling our behavioral health and drug crisis are crucial. We must also support the growth of small businesses and the return of big businesses to San Francisco. It is not a rightward swing, but a practical solution."
