Despite the accident, the Ahns’ faith in the Lurie administration has not diminished and they believe he will be a “great” mayor.
“I am satisfied,” Ahn told The Standard.
Lurie did not publicly mention the incident during his inauguration. He posted photos of the event to his X account and wrote, “Thanks, Chinatown! You were incredible.”

Lurie, heir to the Levi’s brand, defeated former Mayor London Breed in November.
A political outsider, he vowed to get the city “back on track” from crime, drug use and homelessness, using the skills he acquired running the Tipping Point charity he founded in 2005.
It happened just moments after San Francisco’s new mayor, Daniel Lurie, told onlookers that event organizers were “worried about all of you, so back up.”
The longtime nonprofit has close ties to the jeans giant, which was founded in the West Coast city in 1853 by hardworking German Jewish immigrant Levi Strauss.
The brand has since grown into one of the largest clothing companies in the world, a company that Lurie is about to partially inherit.
Lurie’s mother Mimi owns 11 percent of the denim giant, making it the largest shareholder.
