I think saying SF problems are due to "cultural swings" is borderline veiled racism. Sounds like something Hillary would say for sure. No, SF problems come from incompetence. No other city in the country spends as much per citizen and gets as poor results. Quality of life stinks here for the cost.

And no, you're erasing the voices of many locals who don't want more tent camps in residential areas when there are other city lots they could put them in.

Question--do you ever hold the city accountable for its vast and egregious failures? Look at how much money we spend and the results. It's pathetic.

I’m not sure how you get race from “cultural swing” in the context of SF Bay Area. The latest cultural swing is to techies with high salaries leading to gentrification, housing disparities, google bus protests.
