LIVE: San Francisco mayoral candidates face off

[@harris7963]

Breed is so disgustingly distorting reality

[@GhettoMotherTeresa]

Look at BREEDS facial expressions…she really don’t GAF 😂

[@Jeeseruiz]

San Francisco needs a new
Mayor

[@shuisansf]

Need to fire SFPD captain Bill Scott as well

[@hermanmelara7755]

Breed last months in office

[@user-bf4qz4vd5j]

Wrong....

[@H2Owaterguy]

Yeah SF has the lowest Retail theft in the country right now because there are hardly any retail stores. Thanks Breed.

[@samestelles]

I’m pretty sure a global pandemic and the rise of online shopping played a bigger role than Breed.

[@H2Owaterguy]

@@samestelles Explain why other major cities have bounced back then? Los Angeles, New York, Miami...

[@shuisansf]

​@@samestelles Why didn't online shopping affect other shopping malls ??

[@theDuctapeUnion]

@@samestellesI’m pretty sure you work for Breed in some capacity. Don’t believe your lying eyes that S.F. is dirtier and less safe than it’s ever been.
You should be ashamed of yourself, but the destruction of a world class civilization that you are incapable of sustaining is all you people are capable of. 🖕🏼🤡

[@sillylung]

It has the lowest retail theft in the country because the store owners don't report it because they know it doesn't make any difference if they report it or not

[@halfdohm]

S.F., Please dump Breed.

[@SteveinSanFrancisco]

Why?

[@halfdohm]

@@SteveinSanFrancisco I can't even visit anymore. Have to empty my car for fear of break-in. Downtown is digusting. Etc.

[@shuisansf]

Because she is just a cheerleader and proud of San Francisco. That isn't why we pay her the highest mayor salary in the country.

[@Al-xb9fo]

If Breed wins, San Franciscans can never complain about the 💩 show that SF is slowly turning into!!!

[@Waterfrontsurf]

You need to be fired most of you district attorneys judge mayor you guess arrested people selling drugs let them back out in 2 weeks why do the police have to keep going outside to arrest these loser

[@shuisansf]

Ask the judges, they are releasing criminals. Not Brooke Jenkins fault. SFPD like her, much better than Boudin.

[@BettyBlack99]

Anyone that says crime is down is flat out lying. Not a single person in CA feels safer today than 4 yrs ago. FAIL FAIL FAIL

[@86figs]

I’ve been living in downtown San Francisco for 20 years and Tenderloin is a great temperature read on how this city is doing and it’s NOT improving, not by a long shot.

[@hittnguy]

Did you vote for that “Britch”?

[@Thedeskclerk415]

Get rid of London Breed

[@2k2005]

5 minutes in and I see why Peskin chose to skip this debate.

[@ABCEasyas--]

He’s a coward. Please quit while you’re ahead, Aaron!

[@metavercenary]

So real

[@hittnguy]

Breed needs to go to jail. SF is the same as Oakland now.

[@86figs]

For a $357,000 annual salary I would try to become SF mayor as well. That’s the highest paid mayoral salary in the country.

[@shuisansf]

She looks uncomfortable

[@aznfriedrice415]

It due to the fact the mayor of SF also runs the county side as well.

[@shuisansf]

@@aznfriedrice415 Go back to school. Do you even live here?

[@shuisansf]

​@@aznfriedrice415What? Go back to school

[@Kitty8791]

Considering the mayor of Worcester, MA (population ~205,319) makes $313K/yr & it's not really on par w/ SF tells you it's not that outrageous. Quincy, MA (1/2 that size) may increase its mayor's salary to $370K/yr! Like QB's the salaries continue to go up.

[@sfguy_2k22]

31:36 candidates introduced.

[@MildMisanthropeMaybeMassive]

Thanks

[@pinoyvision]

Please vote for anyone other then Breed.

[@SteveinSanFrancisco]

I live in the tenderloin and see improvements... I still won't leave the house without my pepper spray but I rarely think of taking it out of my bag anymore 🤷‍♂️

[@Thedeskclerk415]

But the city is in a financial deficit because of London breed and her pocketing the money

[@backpkhead]

One of the indications of our failed city government is how budgets have not allowed for
english-as-a-second-language classes via city college. How is a sanctuary city supposed to operate without giving people opportunities to learn english? There are very skilled people who enter our city every day; lets give them the tools to rise.

[@stanharry3722]

I can see from all of this that nobody on this stage is taking it seriously. The office of Mayor is an important to the city and the Board of Supervisors is another joke. Look at the crime rate and the drugs that is going on. Back in the 1970’s is was cleaner you didn’t see the crime going on jobs was plentiful no homeless on the streets nothing now we need to change this and the city government of our city needs to change as well. Businesses are leaving and crime is up and drugs are running wild. Let’s change this at the booth.

[@piperlani]

Breed is delusional 😢

[@edcaballero7003]

Is this a joke ?

[@Carmine.Falcone]

So many shills/bots in the chat for this so-called debate lol. A clown show online as well as in person from start to finish. I'd say less than 5-10% of people actively chatting were actually legitimate citizens who have been living here for more than a decade who were NOT paid to come on there and talk foolishness. Not to mention Breed's hype-men in the back which was absolutely pathetic and unprofessional.

[@GhettoMotherTeresa]

Glad folks are seeing through their weirdo MANIPULATIVE SYCOPHANTIC GAMES…❤

[@stephaniegoodyear9760]

Why are no other women running?

[@RobertoNavarro-rl4mq]

Breed the city of San Francisco is feeling because of you fire

[@AnnikaWheeler-ft1pn]

Breed needs to go. Pathetic

[@ET2000-x2b]

Mayor Breed - The crimes is lower? We are afraid to go out of our home. We are scared staying in our own home, always on alert if and when our home will be robbed just like our neighbors houses every single day. Which cave were you sleeping in? You must have left out a lot of crimes in counting. Ridiculous!

[@user-eh2hj8bx6O]

Not just police officers & teachers deserve affordable rental units, the servers, restaurant cooks, custodial, city, retail employees and more deserve affordable housing.

[@anthonyverreos1808]

This is the best I've ever heard of Brooke Jenkins. It sounds promising.

[@anthonyverreos1808]

Mayor Breed has had her turn. She got on the job training and blew it. She's proud of what she's accomplished, because her standards are so low. Supervisor Safai sounds OK, but not compelling. Mr. Lurie has accomplishments to brag about. I think he's great behind the scenes, but not a strong public speaker. He'd be OK. Mr. Farrell has experience, ideas, and focus - I think he would be best of them. I'm very curious why Supervisor Peskin didn't want to be there?
I was most disappointed to hear them all say NO to protecting the rights of a Homeowner to evict roomers from their home. That s such a basic right that Rent Control Boards have taken away. No discussion on that topic! Then when speaking about a downtown University - not one of them mentioned Golden Gate University which is already there on Mission ST. in the financial district, nor USF. No one asked why?
Weak format, Qs were almost all way too long. Candidates should be required to provide a score card of their positions on hot topics.

[@user-eh2hj8bx6O]

Did Farrell's children attend SF public school??

[@dl7281]

As an SF resident: Bye, London.

[@user-eh2hj8bx6O]

How many empty rentals units are there?

[@anthonyverreos1808]

I didn't catch the name of the nice woman who is acting as MC for this event, but her Venezuelan accent makes her English so difficult to understand I can't imagine why they choose her for that task? The STOP Crime SF group is a big success story. Thank you all!

[@Thedeskclerk415]

Street crisis team don’t do anything at all I’ve called them on my graveyard shift and they don’t do anything for the homeless or they take so long the people or person they was supposed too help is long gone

[@bridgeguy2447]

Breed: crime declined.
….. wait what?

[@user-eh2hj8bx6O]

Ate there plans for long term mental health live in facilities?

[@jl2000doramail]

More money you put in homeless programs, more homeless you attract from out of states.

[@anthonyverreos1808]

I never heard about Amber Lee's background before - great to hear she is home grown. Great career at KTVU FOX.

[@jamesormsby9064]

we need cops !! 3 drug addicts were smoking fenty out front of my apt all day , called the cops no one showed up

[@3DbeautyLove]

U have to say get away and they will I live downtown too

[@Realreal12345]

Vote for safety and safe neighborhoods! Vote Mark Farrell! Don't forget Hayes Valley 4 alarm fire!

[@deedee6460]

Can’t stand this 🤮

[@pizzacat69]

im voting for my favoritist candidate: a can of dog poop

[@stanharry3722]

We need to get Breed out and change our board of supervisors as well and finally clean this government up here in our city.

[@user-eh2hj8bx6O]

How to select someone like Alice?

[@projectpink3365]

That guy Lurie has luried me in!!!

[@hermanmelara7755]

Crime is not lower maybe in good neighborhoods but not inTL

[@stanharry3722]

I’m watching this and I see nothing and how empty this meeting is and it’s not meeting the needs of the people makes me wish I was running for mayor cause the people need to be listened to and to understand them and their needs that’s what being a mayor is all about. And this bunch is not listening nor do they understand the people.

[@projectpink3365]

Stop Crime SF is doing a lousy job, judging by their name....

[@greengeezer5069]

Crime is down 32% so maybe be quiet? Or ask the sheriff department since they report these stats, genius. No one is doubting break-ins are up.

[@projectpink3365]

may be 32% compared to Detroit

[@greengeezer5069]

@projectpink3365 no, that's not how it works, child. Cities don't come out with crime statistics in comparison to other cities. You must be a very special little boy...

[@DonAmerioca]

What a disappointing and quite disgusting display of partiality by the sponsors, speakers and audience at such an important event in such a critical race, and in particular the opening presentations of awards, which have absolutely no place connected to a political candidate debate. No wonder Peskin wouldn't attend -- good for him. I wish the other candidates had as much integrity, as well as the guts, not to support or encourage this kind of prejudiced, train wreck of a debate. It was almost unwatchable but I struggled through it because I wanted to see which candidate pandered hardest to this right-wing-oriented crowd -- or which candidate had best packed the audience? -- so that I could be sure to leave that person off of my ballot in November. (No wonder it was aired by a Fox affiliate -- now the involvement of a television station in this kind of openly partial event makes more sense.)

[@user-eh2hj8bx6O]
