San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie wants to bring her city back to its glorious days. And he confirmed the technical leaders – who often pitch their own utopian ideals – can help them supply it.
“I am a mayor who is picking up the phone and calling the CEO,” said Lurie during the TechCrunch strike event on Thursday night. “I call the entrepreneurs, ‘How can we keep you here?’ Or ‘How can we get you back?’ “
He said the first step behind these people was addressing a widespread drug and homeless crisis that has removed many business leaders from the city. Lorry has spent in most of his first 100 days of walking in the city’s most troubled hills. This week, He has returned to a long -term program In which San Francisco provided free pipes, foil and straws that were used to take drugs like Fentanil.
Lori’s “Common Sense Policy”, as he called them during his 2021 mayor, was originally championed by technology leaders. San Francisco Mayor Ryan Peterson came out of Flexport’s CEO while the mayor proceeded, he shouted at Lori:
“Thanks for some cleaning the city.”
Beyond the initiative of the public safety, Lurry emphasized the need to “build” in Francisco – referring to the construction of the house and the building of the house.
The city has recently unveiled a new initiative, Permit SFWhich will reduce the amount of red tape that startups to handle in San Francisco.
Thursday, the mayor also introduced an introduction Offer new zoning It will allow long buildings – and thus, more accommodation – in the surrounding area that the Tradition is only allowed to allow only lower, single family homes. If passed, it may be the first resonating of San Francisco since 1970.
“We want our entrepreneurs to start the business and then be here,” Lurry said. “It means streamlining allowing, a restaurant, a bar or a startup makes it easier to start” “
“What we need more is that people are coming together […] We lost it here in Practical San Francisco, “Lurry said.” I believe that the business community here, they did not leave, understand our values, and we are going to attract business in the years. “
To create an AI hub
As part of this effort, Lurry said that he would like to get “competitive on the tax front”, he suggested that he was willing to pay taxes to the city companies. San Francisco Mayor said he had already worked to build more offices with the city’s top AI companies and to convene more conferences in the city.
For example, Lurry said that he had agreed to the Databrix to hold his AI conference in San Francisco by 2030 instead of going to Las Vegas as the mainly planned company. Last month, the mayor also participated in a ribbon cutting for a new OpenAI office.
Although these AI companies can be reduced to tax, the mayor wants them to invest in San Francisco in other ways. Specifically, he wants to get Sam Francisco Arts and Culture Scene of Open CEO Sam Francisco Arts and Culture, which he said that the company is already silent.
However, Lury not only wants the technology industry dollars, he is still after their idea. The city recently announced the partnership of San Francisco – the owner of the Atlantic and Steve Jobs Wido Loren Powane Powell Jobs, renowned Apple designer Johnny Iv and Ultman, a consortium to help traders talk to the City Hall to help business leaders to talk to the City Hall.
Robotaxis in SF
However, some San Franciscans are concerned that the technology industry is pushing other communities. This excitement recently flown when Wemo SFO Airport tried to get permission for the mapIts Robotaxis allowed the riders to be taken to the airport and from.
Wemo successfully received an SFO mapping permit, but it came up with a strict carving out to ensure that the Commercial products were not removed at the Wemo Airport and from the Airport. Thanks to the International Brotherhood of the Timesters, delivery drivers have great strength at San Francisco City.
Lurry said he had signed a deal with the Workers Unions to complete the WiMO SFO permit, but he made it clear that “Wemo is not going anywhere.”
The mayor said he confirmed that autonomous vehicles were “where the future is going” and he talked about the greater presence in the city with other companies. Lurry also did not deny the construction of the city infrastructure to adjust more autonomous vehicles.
Although most of the technology industry’s innovation Histor has occurred in Silicon Valley, about 40 miles south of the city, the AI Boom seems to be centered on San Francisco. Lurry says that the city really has given some momentum to bring the city to innovation.
“When our work is done, everyone is going to be like that, ‘I was able to stay in San Francisco Otherwise otherwise I miss.’ We are going here, ”Lurry said.
