There’s still a risk of being the next Detroit. Those office spaces didn’t need schools. Didn’t need showers, laundry. As you retrofit the cities cost goes up and tax revenue might decline further. Leading to a slow death event.

Sf would be smart to make deep cuts now to free up budget. Going as far as putting a ballot initiative to end maybe prior proposition earmarks.

No chance. The weather and access to nature make it a paradise compared to most of the country.
For the bay area and California at large sure. However the city of SF could still be depressed, especially since it offers a worse quality of life.
