As the new year approaches, perhaps no one has more resolutions than San Francisco Mayor-elect Daniel Lurie. The Levis's heir discusses his to-do list for when he takes office.

"We have to revive our tourism, we have to revive our downtown, and that's going to require making sure we get conferences back to San Francisco, that we get business back because once we get business back, small businesses can thrive and we can grow our economy," Lurie said.

Housing also is a critical issue. Lurie says he’s reaching out to labor and community groups to get more middle-income housing built.

"We ask so much of our taxpayers and residents, and we do have a crisis of affordability we are going to work with different depts, work with the public and private sectors to make sure we get more housing built. That is the key to our economic recovery."
