  It looks like that is indeed the case://openbook.sfgov.org/openbooks/cgi-bin/cognosisapi.dll?b_action=cognosViewer&ui.action=run&ui.object=%2fcontent%2ffolder%5b%40name%3d%27Reports%27%5d%2freport%5b%40name%3d%27Budget%27%5d&ui.name=20Budget&run.outputFormat=&run.prompt=false

  $10,000 per person? That's more than a third of the annual income per person for that state. Wow.

    But not for people in the city.. SF County is the 2nd wealthiest in the state and gets significant tax revenue from tourists (via Sales taxes, Hotel taxes, etc.).
