## Summary

San Francisco’s Family Opportunity Agenda offers free childcare to families of four earning up to $235,000 a year, and half-price childcare for those earning up to $325,000. Mayor Daniel Lurie says the support is intended to ease the city’s high living costs and help families remain there.

The article highlights the gap between local incomes and expenses: average annual earnings in San Francisco are reported at $164,296, compared with $63,795 nationally. Only 13% of households can afford a median-priced home, while the median one-bedroom rent reached $4,300; one local family earning more than $230,000 says childcare support helps them stay in the city.
