SF elected officials (@LondonBreed @chesaboudin @MattHaneySF @DeanPreston @HilleryRonan @shamannwalton etc.) deliberately make decisions that hurt the community. they've created a dangerous, blighted, depressed city, but why? What do they gain from it? looking for theories.
I’m currently brushing up on the failed state literature (political science - international relations) to write an op-ed on the very subject. The framework seems to be the best fit I’ve found. Happy to collaborate on a piece if you’re up for it.
