(4 Nov 2013) San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee takes the press on a walking tour of the city's Mid-Market neighborhood that's being revitalized by tech companies such as Twitter, which is set to go public this week.
Lee says the arrival of Twitter and other tech firms illustrates the success of the city's efforts to lure companies - and jobs - to a stretch of Market Street known for its crime, seedy theaters and homeless population.
Lee stops at two local businesses - Sam's Diner and Huckleberry Bicycles - that are seeing an increase in business as more tech firms and workers move into the Central Market district.
The mayor says the city began attracting tech firms with payroll tax breaks, but now companies are moving in without the tax benefits because they want to be in an increasingly bustling neighborhood.
