- dmschulman 12y agoYeah very true! Budget would dictate city resources more than population anyway (though budgets would also scale with population density (bigger tax base) and greater need for city resources in a perfect world). I might have overstated that case a bit in my previous comment. To note, however: I did some very preliminary research on city budgets for Philly and SF. I'm still scrolling through PDFs from the SF Comptroller's office, but phila.gov gives me this handy visual breakdown: http://www.phila.gov/openbudget/ http://www.phila.gov/openbudget/
