As far as how the city itself is run and operated, yes.
Separate from that is the experience of living in this city.
My wife and I have walked next to pods of dolphins with our dogs along the Embarcadero, we've listened to countless free concerts under the stars with perfect weather, we've learned what truly good food from around the world is like, we've met so many fascinating people from documentary filmmakers to product designers to dog walkers. It's a magical place not just still today, but especially today.
- api 3y agoAll this is part of how the city can get away with being so badly run. It can coast on its beautiful location and the network effect of the tech industry. Detroit in the 80s and 90s is what you get when a city without so much free ballast is badly run. (Though in some respects it doesn’t seem to have been as badly run as SF. At no point did it have anything like the housing affordability nightmare SF has, just bad urban planning and crime.)
