Miami has strong opposition inside the town's political factions (new Cubans, old Cubans, retirees, etc). As far as I can tell, SF has only "radical" and "more radical" groups.

Oh absolutely. Miami's corruption is of the old school type with groups battling it out over who gets a piece of cake.
Actually there is some race factions in SF as well, mainly with the african american and chinese groups who seem to compete a bit for lucrative positions.
Ironically the lack of real difference of opinion in SF is what enhanced the failure of the city. An opposition no matter how corrupt has the incentive to call out the corruption of the other party. If all are on the same side there is no such incentive.
