San Francisco ranked worst-run major city in America: report

San Francisco has been ranked at the bottom of a new report by a financial services company ranking the best and worst-run cities in the country.

WalletHub reported it measured the "effectiveness of local leadership" by "determining a city’s operating efficiency." San Francisco came in 148th out of 148 cities studied.

"We can learn how well city officials manage and spend public funds by comparing the quality of the services residents receive against the city’s total budget," WalletHub Financial Writer Adam McCann wrote to explain the study.

Each city was given a "Quality of Services’" score based on 36 metrics that were grouped into six service categories, including financial stability, education, health, safety, economy, and infrastructure and pollution. These were measured against the city’s per capita budget.

San Francisco was ranked at the bottom after making headlines previously for the mass exodus from the liberal city, declining enrollment in its public school system as well as skyrocketing housing prices.

Residents elected a new mayor last year, Daniel Lurie, who beat incumbent Democrat London Breed by a more than 10-point margin, 56% to 43%.

San Francisco in a nutshell.

I pass well over a hundred drug users every morning, including many milling about outside our hospital and parking garage.  I care for them when they land in our hospital and I’m proud to do that work. But the city refuses to revoke sanctuary protections for the drug dealers fueling the crisis. It won’t enforce basic laws that could restore order.

And yet, when I stop for less than a minute to pick up my son from daycare, I get ticketed for not curbing my wheels on a 5% grade.

Lawlessness is tolerated. The law abiding are penalized.

Lawlessness is tolerated. The law abiding are penalized.

Naturally. Homeless drug addicts in San Francisco do not pay taxes or fines, and are treated as accredited victims.

As such, they are immune from laws originally intended to protect the taxpaying public, but which in fact are applied as a means of subsidizing the protected, non-contributing classes.

Laws also tend to be selectively enforced in such places, such as where a citizen might be made to pay a fine for failing to (unnecessarily) chock their car's wheels to the curb during a brief stop, but if the same car had its windows smashed and were broken into during a similar stop, the perpetrator would likely never be pursued, arrested, or fined.
