What you have is a notoriously dysfunctional govt. that has been borderline criminal running the city(into the ground) for close to 30+ years now. From Willie Brown to Gavin Newsom to Ed Lee, and now London Breed you have had a political machine creating pure grift with billions disappearing into thin air. (The FBI has launched a investigation into SF [1]). Couple that with a populace that votes like reality does not exist and has picked some of the worst candidates the country has ever seen and you get out of control crime, homeless on scale seen nowhere on earth(well maybe LA), and general dysfunction from all aspects of basic city services. One of the reasons it has been particularly bad as of late is the exodus of tech which brought in fat revenues to the city coffers and also supported a huge range of side industries from restaurants to gyms to other essential services. Once tech left and its money along with it you get a dead hellscape with out of control crime and city services that are non-existent. The hollowing out of downtown will be just the beginning of a very rapid decline for SF, next to follow up are grocery stores, in about two years expect most of them to abandon the city as shoplifting and robbery makes them very un-profitable, I expect then you start seeing the city population take a giant hit and 20-30% of residents will be gone. By then bankruptcy will be very close and could happen even sooner. 1.
