Ah, sorry about that. Late night commenting is never advisable. I was taking this number from here (https://www.statedatalab.org/state_data_and_comparisons/city/sanfrancisco https://www.statedatalab.org/state_data_and_comparisons/city...) and is actually meant to be the debt rather than a budget deficit. Looking into the source more it seems like it may not be the best (link: https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Truth_in_Accounting https://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php/Truth_in_Accounting). From the voter information pamphlet (link: https://voterguide.sfelections.org/en/overview-san-francisco%E2%80%99s-debt https://voterguide.sfelections.org/en/overview-san-francisco...) it appears that official figures for the city's debt is in the $2.29B range, not including "the San Francisco Community College District, San Francisco Unified School District, and Bay Area Rapid Transit District (BART)." I revise my above statement to "[San Francisco] is full of extraordinarily wealthy people paying enormous rents to live under a dysfunctional government with a city debt of at least $2.29B." In any case, even if San Francisco had zero debt, it would still be a dysfunctional government. One need only walk through the Mission to see that.
