“I'm bullish on the San Francisco turnaround because I think Daniel Lurie getting elected mayor was huge. And this doesn't get really as much attention, but it's very important.”

“And this budget needs to get put under control. San Francisco spends 1.5x per capita of what New York City spends. And that's something that Daniel and his team have said they're going to address sort of like their own doge. And there's a team going in there to address this. So I'm really bullish on what's going to happen with the city.”

“I just think that the city is very poorly managed. And just the quality of many cities are poorly managed. And I think that there's a common through line in these poorly managed cities. All the things that you say, there's no will to do. There's no will to keep crime at bay. There's no will to make usable spaces for people. There's no will to invest in the arts. So what do you expect, right? There's more money collected by these cities, but there's just more total grift, corruption and waste.”

“I think it's great that Daniel Lurie is mayor of San Francisco, and he's putting smart people around him. And they're trying to rethink, first some attacking these core problems, but also how do we make San Francisco fun again? So I love things like congestion pricing. I think now is the time to try every new innovation that you ever thought of and see what sticks”
