SF had so much surplus budget during the tech boom. What did they do with it? Lots of pet projects... Why didn't they use it where it would pay dividends in the future? Massively unproductive homeless programs and other peripheral things. If they graduated students they potentially are preventing future homeless people, but with the present educational system they are almost certainly ensuring more homeless people.

SF has struck me for a long time as the worst run major city in America.

A lot of right wingers like to say “see look what libs do!” but I’ve lived in very blue cities like Boston that seem to be significantly better run. San Francisco just seems peculiarly dysfunctional in its own unique way.
