Chinatown is where our elders shop, run errands, and access services in their own language. Yet too many have been pushed out—or are living in SROs without elevators, accessibility, or enough space. Today we stood together in Chinatown to make sure our elders can live with dignity—right here in the community they call home. We’re moving forward with the New Asia Project: 175 new 100% affordable homes for seniors, plus the return of the New Asia banquet hall, which shuttered during the pandemic. This project shows our commitment to seniors and to delivering more housing in San Francisco. Let’s go, Chinatown. Let’s go, San Francisco.

Thank you to everyone who joined us at the 11th Annual Chinatown Night Out! Our members had a great time with the communities they serve daily. We’d like to thank the dozens of community partners who helped make this event possible. Your partnership was key to this year’s success.

I had a great time meeting with community members at this year’s Chinatown Night Out! Thank you to those who worked tirelessly to make this annual event possible. I’d like to also recognize the dedicated members of @SFPDCentral Station who serve and protect this community daily.

We joined the San Francisco Chinese Chamber of Commerce, the Community Youth Center (CYC) of San Francisco, and community leaders to promote the 11th Annual Chinatown Night Out. See you at Portsmouth Square next Wednesday, September 3, at 4 PM!

Today, @SFPDChiefYep, @SFFDPIO Chief Crispen, @SFPDCentral Station Captain Del Gandio, Lieutenant Lee, and footbeat officers joined the @SFCCC415 and merchants to visit businesses in Chinatown. We emphasized the importance of knowing and collaborating with our officers. We look forward to continuing our work together!

Today, Chief Dean Crispen of the San Francisco Fire Department, along with Chief Yep of the San Francisco Police Department and other community leaders, participated in a merchant walk organized by the Chinese Chamber of Commerce in Chinatown. They answered questions from community members, engaged with residents, and supported local businesses. This initiative is one of the ways our public safety teams are working together to ensure community safety by directly connecting with residents to understand their needs. Together, we are building a stronger San Francisco. @SFCCC415 @SFPD

Thank you @SFPD @SFPDChiefYep @SFPDCares Interim Chief Paul Yep, Commander Eric Kim, and Central Station Captain Chris Del Gandio for such a warm visit to Chinatown today!

Our PermitSF legislation is making it easier to do what should’ve always been simple. These reforms are part of a broader effort to make San Francisco a city where small businesses thrive.

Holy Firecrackers! Robin took the night off, so I suited up as Batman’s sidekick for the SF Chinese New Year Parade. The Dark Knight and the Batmobile stole the show this year! 🦇 @SFCCC415 #batman #LunarNewYear #ChineseNewYear2025 #YearOfTheSnake @VisitSF

Gong Hay Fat Choy! Happy Lunar New Year! The Year of the Snake symbolizes renewal, a perfect theme for our city. This year, I am committed to a building a stronger, more thriving San Francisco, and I can’t wait to celebrate with you all!

Come check out the 2-day Flower Mart Fair on Grant Avenue in Chinatown by the Chinese Chamber of Commerce! Be sure you say hello to our police foot beat officers when you see them on our streets to keep you safe.

We kicked off Chinese New Year this morning with the @SFCCC415! It was great to see Chinatown businesses bustling with so many residents & visitors enjoying the mini parade along Grant Ave. Happy Year of the Snake!

Starting off the weekend with an amazing Lunar New Year Parade. Over the next couple of weeks, there will be even more ways to enjoy the festivities. A big thank you to the Chinese Chamber of Commerce for organizing this wonderful neighborhood event!

Today, I am deeply honored to begin serving as your mayor. This is the city where I was born, the city I call home, and the city I believe in with all my heart. I entered this race not as a politician, but as a dad who couldn’t explain to my kids what they were seeing on our streets. San Francisco has long been a beacon of compassion and progress, and it’s time for us to be at the forefront of change once again. The crises of addiction, homelessness, and public safety are immense, but they are outweighed by our collective will and determination to heal our city and restore a sense of safety and hope for all San Franciscans. Inauguration Day marks the beginning of a new era of accountability, service, and change at City Hall. Starting today, my administration will take bold, unapologetic action to tackle our most pressing challenges. We will treat the fentanyl crisis as the emergency it is, revitalize downtown and our economy so that businesses large and small can thrive, and ensure that every San Franciscan shares in our recovery and prosperity. San Francisco has faced hard times before, and we always rise to the challenge. I am proud to work in partnership with the members of the Board of Supervisors, city departments, and the thousands of city workers who work tirelessly on the front lines every day. But every San Franciscan must do their part to help to turn around our city. It can be as simple as picking up litter on your street, shopping and dining locally, visiting a museum, taking in a performance or sporting event, joining your local Neighborhood Emergency Response Team (NERT), or working downtown an extra day per week. I’m asking you to join me as we reclaim San Francisco’s rightful place as a global symbol of innovation and compassion. No one else gets to define who we are. When we are at our best, we are the greatest city in the world. It’s time to roll up our sleeves and get to work. This is where our comeback begins.

That's right! Get ready as we ring in the #yearofthesnake2025 🐍Thank you Greg Wong for this amazing coverage! @sfexaminer @chineseparade

In my first interview as Mayor-elect, I spoke directly to our Chinese community. I was elected on the mandate of public safety, addressing the behavioral health crisis on our streets, and bringing real change. As mayor, I will deliver on those promises.

San Francisco's call for accountable leadership, service, and change has been heard. I am both humbled and inspired by the great honor and privilege of serving you—the people of San Francisco—as your next Mayor. Thank you to everyone who worked tirelessly on this campaign, and to my wife Becca, our children, and my entire family for their unwavering support. Most importantly, thank you to the people of San Francisco for placing your trust in me. Yesterday, I received a gracious call from Mayor London Breed, who offered her assistance during this transition. We’re both committed to working together to prepare for the hard work ahead. I entered this race not as a politician, but as a father who couldn’t explain to my children what they were seeing on our streets. For my family, and for so many others, this campaign was about fighting for the city we love. Together, we defied cynicism and proved that hope is alive and well in San Francisco. But hope alone isn’t enough. We must turn this hope into action and results. Our mandate is clear: deliver clean and safe streets, address our drug and behavioral health crisis, shake up a corrupt bureaucracy, build housing that our neighbors can afford, support our hardworking small businesses, and revitalize our downtown. To achieve this, we must be courageous, compassionate, and honest. I want to assure you that the administration we’re building will reflect the diversity, passion, and dedication of San Francisco itself. The people I hire will not serve me—they will serve you and your vision for a city that listens and delivers. As we celebrate this victory, I know many of us feel deep concern about the state of our country. Under my watch, San Francisco will stand as a beacon of inclusivity and progress, committed to defending the rights of all of our neighbors. We will address the challenges of our times with integrity and compassion. As your mayor, I will take aim at the problems that need solving right here in San Francisco, because that is what the people of this city have elected me to do. Together, we must roll up our sleeves. Because when San Francisco wins, we all win. I am deeply grateful for your belief in me, and I am more hopeful than ever that San Francisco, the city we love, will rise again.

I was honored w/ an AAPI Community Appreciation Celebration hosted by @SFCCC415, BE Chinatown & the Chinese Six Companies. When I took over as DA, the AAPI community was under attack. I have made it my priority to ensure all members of the community feel safe each & every day.
