Yekutiel had asked Breed and Bass where they would take each other out for a day in their respective cities, and Breed said that she would take Bass to the Presidio Tunnel Tops park. Yekutiel then asked Breed and Bass to ask each other a question. Bass didn’t miss a beat. “I want to know: When can I do a fundraiser for you?” she asked.Bass and Breed are both the first Black female mayors of their respective cities, but have governed differently.

She said that in San Francisco — where, unlike Los Angeles, homeless people are not being offered motels — “60 percent of the people are refusing help, 30 percent are accepting, and 10 percent are actually housed.” Breed identified fentanyl use as a major barrier to providing help to homeless people in San Francisco, even though city data consistently shows thatBut ultimately, Breed emphasized, more housing needs to be built.
Breed emphasized such responsibility throughout the event. “People don’t want to hear excuses,” Breed said. “They just want you to, you know, do your job.”District 11 candidates talk housing, clean streets — & all want sidewalk parking
