I started sfCiti because I believed that technology companies needed to take a 'One City' approach and build a shared sense of community and civic responsibility in San Francisco.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
Cities like New York have already followed San Francisco and have started similar organizations like sfCiti; New York has TECH NYC.
I am most proud of what sfCiti has accomplished with the 'Circle the Schools' program, which engages companies to enter into long-term partnerships with San Francisco public schools, using an adopt-a-school model.
As Mayor, I will use my experience to make San Francisco a place where small businesses can thrive.
As Mayor, I will lead city government, businesses, and community groups to support innovative projects that will make San Francisco streets and public places vibrant and healthy.
What makes San Francisco work is that high-value people like to live there and cluster.
I've always had a connection here in the city from the first day I arrived. I stayed in the city. I made San Francisco my home. I was seen in the offseason at a lot of different functions, and people liked that.
As mayor of San Francisco, I will provide the vision and work hard to make San Francisco a beautiful, well-planned city with excellent housing and transportation options.
If I had it my way, I never would have left San Francisco, but things change and that's the nature of this business. We have to move on. We hopefully get opportunities down the road that we take advantage of.
I wish the city of San Francisco, bastion of liberalism, were more innovative when it comes to how to spread the wealth.
I am committed to ensuring San Francisco remains a center for tech and the innovation capital of the world.
