His remarks were publicly backed by Elon Musk and venture capitalist David Sacks, both of whom maintain close ties to Trump and his administration.<\/p>\n<p>However, after mounting criticism from local officials and residents, Benioff reversed his stance. \u201cHaving listened closely to my fellow San Franciscans and our local officials, and after the largest and safest Dreamforce in our history, I do not believe the National Guard is needed to address safety in San Francisco,\u201d he wrote on X.<\/p>\n<p>The shift in tone comes as data suggest that San Francisco is experiencing measurable improvement in public safety and economic recovery. Citywide crime rates are down 30% compared to 2024, and homicide levels have fallen to their lowest point in 70 years. Car break-ins have also reached their lowest levels in more than two decades.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, San Francisco\u2019s economic indicators are rebounding strongly. Tourism and event bookings are climbing, the residential real estate market is tightening, and office demand is rising after years of post-pandemic stagnation. Analysts credit much of the renewed business confidence to the artificial intelligence boom, which has revitalized the tech industry and driven record levels of venture funding.<\/p>\n<p>According to new data from CBRE, 2025 is on track to surpass the 2021 record for venture capital investment &#8211; largely due to AI-driven growth in San Francisco and Silicon Valley.<\/p>\n<p>With Trump\u2019s decision to pull back on federal intervention, local officials and business leaders are hopeful that the city\u2019s momentum will continue. \u201cWe\u2019re turning a corner,\u201d Lurie said. \u201cPartnership and progress, not politics, will define San Francisco\u2019s future.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Former President Donald Trump has walked back plans to deploy the National Guard to San Francisco following private phone calls with top tech leaders and the city\u2019s mayor.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":112363,"featured_media":166536,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[31],"tags":[68416,11671,59211,68415,61024,7111,68417,41649],"class_list":{"0":"post-166535","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-daniel-lurie","9":"tag-donald-trump","10":"tag-jensen-huang","11":"tag-marc-benioff","12":"tag-national-guard","13":"tag-san-francisco","14":"tag-tech-leaders","15":"tag-u-s-politics"},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.3 (Yoast SEO v26.3) -
