Coming to SF and Expecting world beating infrastructure is a very naive expectation to begin with.
Keep in mind the kind of politics (and hence policies) that SF is known for. It is not know for ruthless efficiency and well oiled policies, it is instead the "WORST run big city in the US"

- dba7dba 12y agoWHAT? I didn't know that! I knew of Calif. state senator (dem known as gun-control advocate) getting busted for gun-running and money laundering. http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/govbeat/wp/2014/03/27/calif-state-senator-arrested-for-alleged-gun-running-was-gun-control-advocate/ http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/govbeat/wp/2014/03/27/ca...
- spikels 12y agoHe was on the SF city council until he was term-limited out.
- protomyth 12y agoThe odd part of that was he was pushing for gun control laws pretty heavily. I guess if you get all guns banned then your gun smuggling business will be more profitable.

- hollerith 12y agoPeople unfamiliar with the Bay Area should note however that SF is only a small fraction of the Bay Area. Many of SF's suburbs are fairly-well run.
