It’s a city run by multi-millionaire landowners who refuse to support big expensive tax-paid projects that would address the issue of homelessness such as :
A. allowing tall more densely populated housing to lower their property values and “ruin the view…”
…or…
B. high speed rail that could allow for Tokyo-like commuting from long distances to cheaper living areas for a working populace.
Anyone who would support left-leaning legislation has largely been priced out of living in SF for like a decade now.
Now, unless you have $5k to set aside for rent every month, you are living outside the city.
