I've heard even worse things about Portland, for instance. But I just heard that the wealthy in San Francisco have started employing private police forces to handle the homeless and sanitation issues in their neighborhoods. Some areas have mandatory taxes (somehow) for homeowners to finance them.
Maybe it's a good thing, not for me to say, but that does seem like a very clear indication of mismanagement.

I'm not providing an opinion. I just found it surprising, if true.
