Economic Revisionism and Mayor Ed Lee's Legacy
- bifrost 7y agoThe TLDR on this is that the mayor of San Francisco was long pilloried for giving Twitter tax breaks for moving to SF. Turns out it was the right move and jobs amongst most sectors increased. We lost wholesalers but even gained manufacturing jobs. If you wanted to stretch you could call this "Trickle Down Economics" but really its when you increase the size of the workforce you end up needing support services for that workforce.
