旧金山市长卢里CNN访谈认错：「我们迷失了方向」，810人过量死亡、3万起砸车
旧金山市长丹尼尔·卢里（Daniel Lurie）10月9日在接受CNN主播达娜·巴什（Dana Bash）专访时，罕见地公开承认这座城市过去「迷失了方向」，将旧金山近年来的无家可归、毒品过量与商户外流危机，归因于过度沉溺于进步派意识形态。「我们作为一座城市迷失了方向。我们关注了错误的事情，而今天我们关注的是常识，」卢里说。
「我们太沉溺于我们的进步派价值观、沉溺于谈论进步主义，以至于没有看清我们的街道上正在发生什么，」卢里在访谈中表示。他列出一组数字：三年前，旧金山有810人死于药物过量；「3万起砸车案，每个人都要担心自己的车会不会被砸。」他强调：「810人过量死亡，这没有什么进步可言；3万起砸车，也没有什么进步可言。」
卢里自2024年击败时任市长伦敦·布里德（London Breed）上任以来，一直把恢复旧金山受损的公共形象作为首要任务。他在访谈中说，市政府正对犯罪采取更强硬的态度，同时努力让城市对商业更友好。他同时表示，自己仍支持进步派价值观中照顾移民、LGBTQ+群体等内容，但「我们走到了一个地步，竟然认为『一个人在街上吸毒是他的权利』，或者『一个人走进小商家拿走想要的东西也没关系』。」据报道，在他的治理下，砸车案数量已下降90%。
据福克斯新闻与《纽约邮报》10月10日引述CNN访谈报道，卢里还提到，市中心复苏出现积极信号：联合广场与金融区犯罪率持续下降、写字楼租赁回升、旧金山在返岗率上领跑全美主要城市。优衣库旗舰店10月9日在市场街重开，被市府视为「市中心心脏」复苏计划的又一标志。
这场访谈播出后在全美引发讨论。对旧金山华人社区而言，治安与商业环境的好转直接关系到日常生活与营商信心，市长「常识优先」的转向能否持续兑现，仍有待观察。
SF Mayor Lurie Tells CNN City "Lost Its Way," Citing 810 Overdose Deaths and 30,000 Car Break-Ins
San Francisco Mayor Daniel Lurie said in a CNN interview with Dana Bash on October 9 that the city had "lost its way," blaming its homelessness, drug-overdose and business-exodus crises on an overindulgence in progressive ideology. "We lost our way as a city. We were focused on the wrong things and today we're focused on common sense," Lurie said.
"We got so entrapped in our progressive values and talking about progressivism that we weren't taking stock of what was happening on our streets," Lurie said. He cited stark numbers: 810 people died of drug overdoses in San Francisco three years ago, and there were 30,000 car break-ins — "everyone had to deal with whether or not their car was going to be broken into." "There's nothing progressive about that," he said.
Since defeating incumbent London Breed in 2024, Lurie has made restoring San Francisco's battered public image a priority. He told CNN his administration is taking a harder line on crime while working to make the city friendlier to businesses. He added that he still supports progressive values such as caring for immigrants and the LGBTQ+ community, "but we got to a point where we said, 'Well, it's that person's right to be on the street using drugs,' or it's okay for someone to just go in and take what they want from a small business." Car break-ins have dropped 90%, he said.
According to Fox News and the New York Post's October 10 reports on the CNN interview, Lurie also pointed to signs of downtown recovery: falling crime in Union Square and the Financial District, rebounding office leasing, and San Francisco leading major U.S. cities in return-to-office rates. Uniqlo's flagship reopening on Market Street on October 9 was hailed by City Hall as another milestone in the "Heart of the City" recovery plan.
The interview drew national discussion. For San Francisco's Chinese community, improvements in safety and the business climate bear directly on daily life and business confidence — whether the mayor's "common sense first" turn keeps delivering remains to be seen.
