San Francisco saw a shift towards moderate policies in the recent elections, with Propositions A and C likely to pass. Mayor London Breed aims to revitalize the city's downtown area with the '30 by 30' initiative. Election updates show a significant voter turnout and changes in DCCC seats. The city also approved public safety measures and rejected Proposition B, emphasizing the need for effective policies over performative politics.

The message is clear. San Francisco voters want people to go to drug treatment and don't want to subsidize drug addiction. Even Bernal Heights voters were 43% for Prop F, which is a lot when you understand how liberal BH is. https://t.co/fSWzgHcN4d

If you think SF isn’t progressive, then you have to reckon with the fact that nobody in the country wants anything to do with your definition of progressivism, and that it’s a losing ideology. https://t.co/GbmmbIIhdd

Progressive policy doesn't work without public safety. Over 100k democrats who voted agree. There's few Republicans and right-wingers in San Francisco. But there's a lot of far leftists and socialists. They lost on Tuesday. https://t.co/MusQDoCjpb

San Francisco still has a long way to go before we're back. The policies that led to this didn't happen overnight. It will take time to build housing, shelter, treatment and enforce the law again. I have hope. Does he? https://t.co/8em54nBGtn
