Not as a share of GDP, compared to other states. Its roughly comparable to other big states (though higher than Texas), and lower than lots of states run by what purport to be small-government conservatives.
California's budget is big in absolute terms, sure, but so is its nearly $2.5 trillion GDP.
SF's budget share of SF's GDP + California's budget share of California's GDP is less than many states budget share of GDP alone (without considering local budget shares.)
