The budget comparison is totally not fair. SF is also a county, so I bet say Muni is in SF's budget. OTOH, Chicago is just a city. How much does Cook County spend in Chicago?

Fair point. Cook County's total budget is $3 billion. Half the population of Cook County is in Chicago, so add another 1.5 billion (total 7.8 billion).
