San Francisco probably has one of the most generous social service provisions of any city in the world. The latest one I’ve heard of: a bunch of basic income programs explicitly limited to certain races and also artists for some reason. > This pilot program will be the first guaranteed income project in San Francisco to focus solely on artists. The other guaranteed income programs include funding for San Franciscans training to become EMTs, Black and Pacific Islander expecting mothers as part of the Abundant Birth Project, and members of San Francisco’s Black and African-American community as part of the Mayor’s Dream Keeper Initiative. Somehow a city like Tokyo manages to make do without many of these supposedly necessary programs. Weird, right?
