San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie is ordering thousands of city employees back to the office at least four days a week, part of a move to strengthen city services while injecting life into the city’s struggling downtown.
In a memo obtained by SFGATE, Lurie set an April 28 deadline for full implementation, directing the Department of Human Resources to oversee the transition. The order primarily affects around 10,000 office-based employees who currently work hybrid schedules.
The value is just moving and instead of being centralized it’s now decentralized, which is an improvement since it means people have access to services closer to their house and those services are available at times outside of office hours.
Office buildings need to be converted to housing, that’s it. Being dependent on people commuting is not sustainable.
