We share common values as San Franciscans: we help each other; we welcome newcomers; we innovate and learn; we focus on facts; we work together; and we find creative solutions.

In San Francisco, we have long faced serious challenges in managing the crisis of homelessness on our streets.

Sadly, youth homelessness is an issue throughout the country.

Getting around San Francisco should be convenient, safe, affordable, and sustainable.

We are committed to delivering a safe, equitable, and reliable transportation system.

Homelessness and behavioral health challenges affect every neighborhood in San Francisco.

Since becoming Mayor, I have advocated for safer streets.

We need housing for people who are exiting homelessness, and need to make sure we're providing housing at multiple levels of care so people can get the services they need to permanently exit homelessness and make their home in San Francisco.

We know that all too often, homelessness and behavioral health challenges go hand in hand.

Early care and education helps children build the skills they need for success in kindergarten and can help close the achievement gap.

Access to quality early care and education is an important part of our efforts to make San Francisco more equitable, and ensure that every child who grows up here can thrive.

Child care should be convenient, affordable, and available in every neighborhood.

Never let your circumstances determine your outcome in life.

No matter where you come from, no matter what you decide to do in life, you can do anything you want to do.

I ask people to not attribute what I've done - my success and how hard I've worked - to not reduce that or attribute that to someone else.

A lot of things are going to happen that you can't necessarily control all the time, but you can control what you do after it happens. So that's what I try to do, keep my head up, keep moving forward, stay positive and just work hard.

If you want to be a good shooter, you've got to shoot.

Once you believe in yourself, you can pretty much do whatever you want in my opinion, so that is the main thing.

I think you're either born a leader or you're not.

I think I can score. But personally, I like to pass first, because people love people who pass. And I'm a point guard, so my job is to kind of get people open.

If you have one guy taking all of the shots, you're obviously not playing very fast, because you have to slow it down and wait for him to get to his spot in the offense. But when you just want the best shot possible, a lot of different people are going to get the ball.

If you keep doing something over and over, you should get good at it.

Magic Johnson is one of the greatest players to ever play... he's the best point guard to ever play, so I can learn a lot of things from him.

You can always work on everything.

I feel great in pick-and-roll.

When I play the game, I play to win.

Who's gonna want to wear a loser's shoe? I know I wouldn't.

I know there are a lot of kids who aren't lucky enough to have a father figure in their lives. That's a really tough obstacle to overcome.

I'm not loud. Not gonna be crazy with the refs.

LeBron and Rondo are arguably two of the best leaders ever.

Well, everybody's human, and you're not going to do the right thing perfectly every time. But you mess up and you learn from it and you go on from there.

When it comes down to the last five minutes, it's not about Xs and Os. It's pretty much who wants it more.

No, I don't get nervous when I play basketball.

With all the pick-and-rolls in the NBA, getting in the lane and shooting floaters or pull-ups will help a lot.

I played baseball too, and flag football, but basketball was the easiest for me. Then when I was 12, my dad asked me what I wanted to do, and I said 'Be an NBA player.' Since then, he started training me.

I want to be M.V.P. one day. But for me, it's all about championships.

I feel like my game is more like LeBron's than Kobe's, so that's why I think I gravitated toward his game more.

I've been good at the game of basketball my whole life, so I'm hoping I can get back to that.

The way I play, I like to be free.

Playing defense out here against grown men is physical.

I think it was tough being a young guy, especially in L.A. All the people looking at you and we had a big responsibility over there.

No. 2 pick, you're supposed to do a job - you're supposed to turn the franchise around. And I don't think I did it to the best of my abilities. I didn't live up to that standard.

My family's always going to be close.

Team player, man. It's not just me out there. All five guys got to contribute, and whoever comes in has to do the same.

I just go out and play.

My dream is to play in the NBA.

NBA, that's the biggest spotlight I've ever been in before. It was crazy at first. I just had to take a step back. Get back to what I know: having fun.

Every team I played for, I pretty much been the dude on it.

I played guard my whole life, and liked having the ball in my hands.

In Chino Hills, everybody is cool with everybody, so I had a lot of friends. My house was kind of the hang out house, where everybody would come over.
