This seems like an odd complaint considering SF appears to have out of control spending and poor infrastructure.
Methinks author is conflating two separate issues.
- baby 4y agoDoes SF really have poor infrastructure btw? Compared to any city in Europe sure, but compared to cities in the US?
- technovader 4y agoThat's exactly the point though. Americans have no idea how terrible their cities are because they only compare to themselves. It's ALL terrible. Please DO compare to Europe. Let's strive for better cities period, not just OK in the context of North America.
- baby 4y agoI was thinking, for a city of 800k inhabitants, it's not that bad. But then I lived in Bordeaux which has 250k inhabitants and public transport was so amazing. I basically don't take public transport in SF anymore because I find it too dangerous, whereas I never once took a taxi or drove in Bordeaux (in 2 years there).
