SF city “leadership” had failed the city miserably. What we’ve witnessed is that the city was actually really, really hard to destroy with A LOT going on for it. The pandemic just accelerated the demise - no other city even in CA has exodus quite like SF. This is all very sad as SF was such a beautiful city.

Why would anyone vote for the incumbents in SF’s next elections is beyond me.

If you are talking about the board of supervisors, I agree. They are to blame for many of the city’s problems, mostly because their most politically active constituents and donors are angry homeowners who block everything.

The current mayor London Breed has been doing good work, her handling of the covid-19 crisis in particular has been excellent. The problem is that most supervisors hate her and block her every step of the way.

I disagree about the mayor. But since I am not SF resident I won’t argue. I hope you enjoy what you are getting

Out of curiosity, if you’re not a SF resident, what are you basing your disagreement on? Do you live in a nearby city that is affected by SF policies?

yes, I live nearby and used to visit SF often. But now my wife is afraid to even drive to Cal Academy of sciences with kids.
