This is how San Francisco worked before it spent more money per resident on government than any other city its size.  Try to count the number of things that would get you ticketed or even arrested in San Francisco today, in the name of "public safety."  I lost count around 100.  And yet not a single accident.

Freedom is beautiful.

The problem with top-two primaries PDF Print E-mail
Written by Rob Power

LPSF's Richard Winger has once again gotten published regarding the top-two primary proposal, this time in the SF Bay Guardian:

California voters will see a ballot measure in June 2010 seeking approval for a "Top-two Open Primary" system. The measure would make it far more difficult for Californians to vote for any candidates other than incumbents and their best-funded challengers. It would also make it even easier for incumbents to get reelected.

The Worst-Run Big City in the U.S. (and, no, it's not just LPSF who thinks so) PDF Print E-mail

4215461.47SF Weekly recently ran an article with the subheading "Spend more. Get less. We're the city that knows how."  Sounds like something we'd write here on LPSF.org, but it's an honest-to-goodness article printed on lots of dead trees...

"Despite its good intentions, San Francisco is not leading the country in gay marriage. Despite its good intentions, it is not stopping wars. Despite its spending more money per capita on homelessness than any comparable city, its homeless problem is worse than any comparable city's. Despite its spending more money per capita, period, than almost any city in the nation, San Francisco has poorly managed, budget-busting capital projects, overlapping social programs no one is certain are working, and a transportation system where the only thing running ahead of schedule is the size of its deficit."

From The San Francisco Business Times

Proposition G — the chain-store-killer ballot measure — continues to fell retailers interested in opening in San Francisco.

As Frederic Bastiat said there is that which is seen and that which is unseen. The unseen when Propostion G passed was the loss of  jobs for residents and the loss of reveneue for the City to "protect" neighborhood businesses
