  It doesn't seem that things have gotten bad enough that those services are no longer available and real-estate owners are impacted by it. Yes, teachers have to commute from out of town, but this doesn't affect the local residents just yet, from what I can tell, the educators are there when you need them, maybe thanks to higher-paying private schools. The restaurant scene is still strong, prices are through the roof as always and people can afford it just fine. First responder salaries are pretty good as well, although there are plenty of vacancies: https://transparentcalifornia.com/salaries/san-francisco/?page=9&s=-other https://transparentcalifornia.com/salaries/san-francisco/?pa... I don't see how the current status quo will change anytime soon given that the residents don't feel that impacted besides the inconvenience of not being able to shop on Market St anymore. Most of the fancy neighborhood owners (Pac Heights, Russian Hill, Noe, Duboce, North Beach, etc) are still isolated from the urban decay and don't have to worry about finding a place to live. They can let things get worse in other parts of town for a while longer.
