What major steps would you take or support to address the digital divide in San Francisco?
Immediately, we need to make sure the digital divide doesn't follow students to remote learning environments. I'd fight for funding for laptops and home wi-fi hotspots for most vulnerable students. Longterm, city-wide fiber must be pursued so that every resident has access to the promise of the digital economy.Do you support the reallocation of SFPD funds? If so, what city programs/departments would you like to see the funds reallocated to?
Yes. We must deliver budget justice. Our city is crying out for change and investment in our marginalized and oppressed communities. We must also look closely at our police response and act swiftly to shift calls for non-violent incidents to other departments and more appropriately trained staff such as mental health professionals.To address the City’s budget deficit, what is more important: generating more revenue or cutting costs? Why?
Investment. This means investing in community infrastructure like affordable housing and transit like extending the Central Subway. And, investing in our people and workforce -- our city has more than 100,000 folks out of work, and some in roles that may not come back. We need rapid reform and expansion of our workforce programs.Spencer Simonsen
