San Francisco is making progress on its road to economic recovery, and supporting that recovery is going to take all of us working together. There will be challenges ahead but we’re already seeing signs of hope in our City. Here’s a look at some of the good news from this week.
Let’s start with the numbers.
7 day positivity rate = .83%
7 day case rate = 32 cases/day
7 day daily test rate = 5,078 tests/day
We still have a long way to go, but these numbers are key for our recovery.

Now that we’re in Yellow, San Francisco will start to reopen offices on Tuesday. We know our downtown is a key driver of our economic engine and we can get people back to work safely. And we are seeing positive signs for the future. https://www.sfchronicle.com/business/article/Google-expands-S-F-office-despite-shift-to-15652058.php
Our small businesses and their employees are working hard every day to survive & we need to keep up our efforts to support them and help them recover & thrive. That’s why we’re extending Shared Spaces permits through June 30, 2021. https://twitter.com/sfoewd/status/1320041520473370625
Word is out that the latest Marvel movie is filming in San Francisco! This means jobs for our local film industry talent, more support for our small businesses, and showing the world our unique & incredible neighborhoods. https://www.sfgate.com/sf-culture/article/Marvel-Studios-movie-filming-downtown-SF-Shang-Chi-15659724.php
Building affordable housing = building back our economy. This week we celebrated the groundbreaking of 2 affordable housing projects at Balboa Park Upper Yard & 681 Florida. I'm proud of our work to create housing & maximize the jobs that go with it. https://missionlocal.org/2020/10/seventh-100-percent-affordable-apartment-building-breaks-ground-in-mission-district/
As we recover, we must continue to meet the needs of our most vulnerable residents. $29 million from the State’s Project Homekey helps us make progress on our Homelessness Recovery Plan & get people off the streets & into housing. https://www.sfchronicle.com/politics/article/S-F-hotel-near-Union-Square-to-be-converted-to-15671368.php
Recovery can be fun, too! Families are now able to visit Golden Gate Park's Observation Wheel, as well as nearby @calacademy and @deyoungmuseum. SF’s commitment to preventing the spread has allowed us to keep reopening, including fun & cultural activities. https://twitter.com/RecParkSF/status/1319019698432831488
We still have a lot more to do, especially working with the School District to get our public schools open. We have to watch the 3rd wave we are seeing in other areas, but as long as we follow public health guidance and keep our numbers stable, we will continue to move forward.
