San Francisco is making childcare free for families earning less than $230,000 a year
In an effort to make one of the world’s most expensive cities more affordable for families, the city of San Francisco announced an initiative to offer free childcare to families earning less than $230,000 a year. Families earning up to $310,000 will receive a 50% subsidy.
It’s part of a larger “Family Opportunity Agenda” from the city’s mayor that includes affordability programs focused on housing, education, food, healthcare, transportation, and more.
The city joins New York City, which most recently announced a program to provide free childcare for all 2-year-olds, and New Mexico, which became the first state to provide free childcare for every child in the state.
Why is this good news? The average cost of childcare in San Francisco is estimated to be between $20,000 and $30,000 per child annually, and the state of California is in the top five most expensive states for infant care. This program will ease a huge financial burden for families who live, work, and are vital in their communities.
New report: Homicide rates declined dramatically in dozens of U.S. cities last year
Data collected from 35 U.S. cities showed a 21% decrease in the homicide rate from 2024 to 2025, translating to about 922 fewer homicides.
The report showed a decrease in 31 of the 35 cities, including a 40% or higher decrease in Denver, Omaha, and Washington. Additionally, the overall homicide rate dropped to its lowest in decades.
Democrats and Republicans were quick to claim credit, but experts assert a multitude of factors typically contribute to historic drops like this, and it’s too soon to say what those factors are.
