Maybe they're part of the problem?

I'm not interested in litigating the merits of VCs, I was commenting positively and not normatively on the peculiarly small ratio of engaged financiers to obvious urban dysfunction in San Francisco.

I don't know the answer to my question. I just observe that it's a factor that sets San Fransisco apart from a lot of other cities. In my opinion it's worth investigating at least.

In my experience, the San Franciscans advocating policies that are clearly misguided (e.g., not prosecuting property crimes) are usually not VCs.
