Golly that sounds terrible. San Francisco must be an unbearable cesspit. Oh wait, that's right, it's my favorite city in the US, has a better than decent public transport system, and given a choice many people will pay extra to live there. I've heard some amazing stories of mismanagement and excessively liberal policies (e.g. Homeless people being paid stipends by the city) but there are plenty of well managed cities I would move out of in favor of San Francisco. (My favorite post in the linked thread was a comparison of SF to Saudi Arabia.)
