At least, that's the message from its new mayor Daniel Lurie, a centrist who trounced progressives in a November vote by promising to restore order to the city's apocalyptic streets.

Now those same liberals accuse Lurie of turning City Hall into a 'dictatorship' with the sweeping new powers he's assumed to get more cops on the streets and addicts into rehab.

But the mayor is an heir to the Levi Strauss fortune, and San Francisco voters have grown weary of soft-on-crime policies that turned a once-glorious city into an opioid hellscape.
