This is not an SF thing, it's a 'Almost Everywhere' thing, some places being worse than others. The level of systematic dysfunction, fraud, bureaucracy etc. would be shocking to many of us, even though in other areas, cities and services are actually under supported. It's a little more hypocritical with SF because the the amount of wealth and hints of virtue signalling that come out of there, but really it's a broader problem. Wealth is created by our ability to organize efficiently. This stuff should be a 'primary' concern for citizens and voters but none of it makes nice headlines. It's literally probably easier to go to Mars than it is to clean up city/state legislative and operational dysfunction. I wish there would be legit press outlets that open up specifically to focus on these things.
