The number of police departments that actually got defunded after "defund the police" can probably be counted on 0 hands. SF certainly did no such thing[1].

According to the article, that's a 4.4% increase during a 3 year period with 14.5% cumulative inflation. Which would be a large cut in real dollar terms, no?

San Francisco Budget has been cut 2 years in a row.

$692.3 million in 2019-2020

$667.9 million in 2020-2021

$657.4 million in 2021-2022

The article's headline says it's up 4.4% but that's compared to 2019.
