Lurie, the Levi Strauss heir, said the late Mayor Ed Lee wanted $6 million for the police, money Farrell allegedly refused to allocate when he was on the Board of Supervisors.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Daniel, this is where your inexperience shows,” said Farrell, landing a zinger that caused a crowd eruption. “You have not been part of the budget committee in City Hall or mayor of San Francisco.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Safai swiped at Lurie’s lack of government service. Lurie responded by echoing a line he has used on the campaign trail.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“They’re going to talk about experience all night long. They’ve got a combined 70 years of experience on this stage. Look where it’s gotten us,” he said as he spread his arms in exasperation.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Farrell and Lurie struggled at times to offer solutions that differ from what current elected officials are already implementing. When the candidates were asked what they could do to revive downtown, Farrell said San Francisco should give tax incentives for businesses. Breed and Peskin teamed up to put forward a ballot measure in November that would exempt 2,500 businesses from some city taxes while lowering taxes for hotels and entertainment organizations.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“I think we need to be incredibly pro-active with our business community and bring them back to the downtown core,” Farrell said.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The debate was moderated by Manny Yekutiel, proprietor of the event space Manny’s and Heather Knight, San Francisco bureau chief of The New York Times. Yekutiel told the audience “not to clap, sneer or jeer.” That didn’t stop the crowd from intermittently booing. The candidates were civil even as they criticized their opponents. The exchanges between the moderators and the candidates were much lighter, providing comic relief.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“Are you a NIMBY?” Knight asked Peskin, using the acronym for Not in My Backyard, shorthand for homeowners who oppose housing construction.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Peskin said his policies led to more housing construction than any other candidate on stage. He critiqued Farrell, ticking off affordable housing projects Farrell opposed while he was a supervisor. In his retort, Farrell said that Peskin relies too much on voter-backed bonds to build affordable housing instead of the free market.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Knight also drew laughs after forgetting to ask Safai a question she asked the other candidates.\u003c/p>\n\u003cfigure id=\"attachment_11990133\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 2560px\">\u003cimg loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-11990133\" src=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/SFMAYOR@-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" srcset=\"https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/SFMAYOR@-scaled.jpg 2560w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/SFMAYOR@-800x533.jpg 800w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/SFMAYOR@-1020x680.jpg 1020w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/SFMAYOR@-160x107.jpg 160w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/SFMAYOR@-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/SFMAYOR@-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https://cdn.kqed.org/wp-content/uploads/sites/10/2024/06/SFMAYOR@-1920x1280.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 2560px) 100vw, 2560px\">\u003cfigcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">People fill the sidewalk in front of the Sydney Goldstein Theater before a San Francisco mayoral debate on June 12, 2024. \u003ccite>(Beth LaBerge/KQED)\u003c/cite>\u003c/figcaption>\u003c/figure>\n\u003cp>Breed seemed taken off guard when Yekutiel asked what she had done to solve \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/11988252/sf-bribery-scandal-could-see-fishermans-wharf-restaurant-forced-out\">corruption\u003c/a> in her administration.
