San Francisco Mayor Proposes Record Budget Amid Deficit

London Breed's $15.9 billion plan aims to boost police funding while addressing a nearly $800 million shortfall.

Mayor Breed proposes a $46.7 million increase for the police budget, raising it to $821.6 million.
The budget includes measures to fill 100 vacant downtown storefronts and expand shelter slots for homeless families.
Breed plans to use $45 million from opioid settlements to tackle the city's drug crisis.
The proposal seeks to close the deficit through hiring limits, cuts to nonprofit contracts, and reduced infrastructure spending.
Breed's budget must be approved by the Board of Supervisors, facing potential opposition from progressive members.
