San Francisco Mayor Breed proposes record high budget to tackle homelessness, crime, and deficit.

San Francisco's budget is expected to reach a record high of $14.6 billion for each of the next two fiscal years, despite a massive two-year deficit of about $780 million. Mayor London Breed's budget proposal includes increased funding for the Police Department, public drug markets, and homelessness prevention. She also hopes to make San Francisco's struggling downtown more attractive for businesses by offering tax breaks. The Board of Supervisors must approve the budget, which includes funding for policing alternatives, drug treatment, and mental health services.
