The bigger issue to me and that’s on us as voters is why does the Mayor and her staff need to earn >$400k in salary to run this city?

The jobs need titles duties and job descriptions. Cronyism is real. And many of the jobs are useless, need assessment, and yes salaries are far too large.

It’s mostly the executive and administrative leadership - i dont think the rank and file salaries are bloated or
@sfbos ones.2 replies 0 retweets 1 like -

maybe, but there are too many city employees. way more per capita than any city in the US. if things were improving...housing, transit, quality of life, i wouldnt care if we had a bloated staff. but paying for more and getting less doesnt cut it

Pre or post pandemic? Things did improve by my judgement pre-pandemic. The quality of life before the pandemic was pretty good, not in some spots for sure, transit was good, better than previous years. Housing is one where we fell short. Although, now rents are way cheaper

the street/ drug addition crisis was getting worse pre-pandemic. housing is a disaster. permit process is a disaster for almost everything. also cant agree on transit. how long and how over budget are the new subway line and the Van Ness projects?

I agree that these are problems and they are not easy problems to solve but we just vote every 2 or 4 years and then forget about it instead of engaging with our elected leaders. The best way is to organize as a collective and agree that we are not going to agree on every policy.

agree with you, but im not optimistic because i thought there would be change in the last election. the mere fact that Dean Preston won by a considerable margin and the election of Chesa Boudin makes me think we are going even further into wrong direction.

That's
#democracy. We all have to work within our system. If they won its because the majority decided that. We can complain but we need to give them their 4 years and measure their effectiveness and organize to vote them out if they did not deliver what they ran on.2 replies 0 retweets 0 likes -

in the instance of Chesa, he got 32% of votes in a very low turnout election. thats <12% of the city. he wouldve been trounced if the moderates wouldve joined together or even 1 wouldve dropped out. and wouldve been trounced in a runoff. people were not paying attention

If the people aren't paying attention, then isn't that on us as voters?
