Far left would mean you literally wouldn't exist. SF's problem is hyper-liberalism, not "far left". All of the actions being taken are band aids, while also maintaining the extreme levels on inequality that has put the city in the state that it is in.
Reducing policing and criminalization is always a good thing, but for it to be successful it has to be followed up with all the other (argubly much harder) tasks. Rent is skyrocketing, NIMBYism is alive and well, lack of social and housing support is still there. The war on drugs is alive and well.
SF can't decide if it wants to care about the 99% or the 1%. And until it makes that decision, it's going to continue being shit.
Also, a single (rich) city is not going to be able to counter the hyper-capitalist mentality of the country. These changes need to come from every level of government & not just a city.
