San Francisco Mayor London Breed is not waiting for her proposed tax breaks to revive the city's struggling downtown: the mayor has told key administrators she wants government workers to move into empty downtown office buildings.

Public office buildings that are emptied as a result of this migration will become sites for housing under Breed's plan, according to a statement issued by her office.

In letters this month to San Francisco Unified School District Superintendent Matt Wayne; City College of San Francisco Chancellor John Al-Amin; and City Administrator Carmen Chu, Breed asked the three public entities to take the lead in a new program to move government employees into empty downtown offices, the San Francisco Business Times reported.
