Mayor London Breed: The State of San Francisco

San Francisco Mayor London Breed returns to Commonwealth Club World Affairs for a state-of-the-city program, taking stock of the San Francisco’s present and looking forward to its future. What can the city do to spur downtown revival? How can it reduce the problems of fentanyl, homelessness and crime?

In a live conversation with NBC Bay Area anchor Raj Mathai, the mayor will also share her thoughts on ballot measures facing voters in the March elections, including Proposition C (making it easier to convert office properties into housing), Proposition E (expanding the ability of police to pursue suspects) and Proposition F (identifying and requiring treatment for drug abuse disorder among people receiving cash assistance).

Breed, elected in 2018, is the city’s 45th mayor and its first Black woman mayor. She was born and raised in San Francisco. Before she became mayor, Breed served as a member and president of the city’s Board of Supervisors.
