Positions in brief

On his campaign site, Savage calls Alameda Point development 'a once-in-a-generation opportunity' that needs thoughtful action with real urgency to enable housing, businesses, and infrastructure improvements. On street safety, he says too many drivers still move too fast and too many intersections feel unsafe to cross, and supports continued investment in pedestrian and cyclist infrastructure. On infrastructure generally, he emphasizes investing now in roads, levees, storm drains, and emergency services, saying it 'costs far less than waiting,' while being creative about funding. On the economy, he frames local businesses as economic engines that create jobs and city revenue.
