Lurie appears to be trying to thread the needle of changing street conditions while acting humanely.&nbsp;Perhaps to the surprise of some, the details for his plans show a recognition of the need to respect the unhoused.

For example, the crisis drop-off zone is aimed at people who need a behavioral health specialist rather than treatment in an emergency room — or jail. The initial capacity for the drop-off center will be 16 beds, and it is expected to serve 9,000 people annually. If the pilot concept works, the administration is primed to expand it.

But exactly how rich he is—and what kind of conflicts that money might present—have been largely unknown to the public.

As a candidate for mayor, Lurie is required by law to file a <a href="https://sfstandard.com/2024/04/02/san-francisco-mayor-finances-breed-peskin-safai-farrell-lurie/">Form 700</a> and disclose his economic interests before June 11.

However, Lurie’s wife, Becca Prowda, who is chief of protocol to Gov. <a href="https://sfstandard.com/search/?query=gavin%20newsom">Gavin Newsom</a>, has been required to file such forms since 2019. The Standard has obtained these filings, and while the documents only report a range of values for investments rather than exact figures, they offer the most detailed glimpse yet into the couple’s wealth.

The Standard has obtained these filings, and while the documents only report a range of values for investments rather than exact figures, they offer the most detailed glimpse yet into the couple’s wealth.

A review of the disclosures shows Lurie has held assets worth up to tens of millions of dollars that touch nearly every industry—everything from a professional sports team and cryptocurrency to hedge funds that have assets in fossil fuels, pharmaceuticals and real estate. In fact, Lurie’s wealth is probably an order of magnitude greater than the Form 700 reveals, given his substantial stake in Levi’s.
