The departure of tech workers is what springs to mind for us (I too moved out of SF during the pandemic), but don't forget that tourism is also a huge factor in the city economy, and that has also been decimated - though more temporarily.
I also think it's over-hasty to attribute many of these things to Breed's policies. Companies in knowledge industries going remote isn't a unique-to-SF thing, and the housing prices and street problems that caused many people to leave the city are rooted in bad housing policy that long predates her mayoral term.
