The statement is a direct quotation attributed to Mayor Daniel Lurie from a San Francisco Examiner article dated May 2, 2026. As a verbatim quote reported by a news source, it is factually accurate that he said these words, regardless of whether the underlying policy position is correct.

The quote attributes a statement to Daniel Lurie on a future date (2026-05-02) that cannot be verified; no record exists of him saying those exact words on that date per the cited source.

Daniel Lurie is not the mayor of San Francisco (the mayor in 2026 is London Breed), and there is no record of him making that quoted statement; the attribution appears incorrect.
