How is that non-confrontation approach to politics on getting things done/getting effective decisions made? Just Devil's Advocate, but in DC we have a confrontational approach and we still get nothing done. Nor do we get any effective decisions made. My suspicion is that anyone doing anything other than collaborating with each other, is probably not getting anything real done. I guess I'm just not sure any of what you said is unique to San Fran. Or even if the opposite of what you just said would yield any better results in San Fran. In fact, I'm positive that it won't, because that's not really a San Fran problem. That's the public discourse problem that we've been having in the US nationally for 30 plus years now.
