How San Francisco Became a Failed City

Heard the usual shit-talk of this on Twitter first, apparently the writer is a local heiress (This used to be a known SF type, all over Dashiell Hammett. Patty Hearst was a local heiress!) which is worth considering as you assess her interpretation of a rightward (if only from leftist to liberal) trend in the city I guess, but all the elements she builds it out of are there.

Interesting that she attributes some backlash to hangover from the electorate being too in their #Resistance cups last Trump-era election cycle and supporting trendy leftism they now realize they don’t actually like as governing philosophy; I really think, big picture, possibly the most significant role Trump played was tripping an assembling left order before it was complete and triggering it to shake itself apart
