During that time, public comment in the city was entirely remote.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>As vaccines became available and public meetings began happening in person again, San Francisco voted to keep remote public comment, instituting a hybrid system that allowed people to participate in person or call in.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That didn’t last, however, after a number of city meetings were derailed by \u003ca href=\"https://sfist.com/2023/09/27/racist-commenters-zoombombing-public-meetings-across-us-even-here-in-sf/\">callers spouting racist, antisemitic comments. \u003c/a>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“We did not want the Board of Supervisors to be a form of hate speech,” Peskin said. “I don’t think these callers were from San Francisco, and it was abhorrent.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Board of Supervisors would have to approve bringing back the call-in option. Lurie said he would support doing so. Supervisor and mayoral candidate Ahsha Safaí said he would not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“It may be time to reconsider having remote public comment again,” Peskin said. “We want as many people to participate in the democratic process as possible.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cstrong>\u003cem>Next Tuesday, Marisa Lagos will answer questions readers have about Vice President Kamala Harris.
