That's a reasonable take on the politics of pensions, and there's some evidence of that kind of political backlash. But there's another equilibrium possible. Very tough for constrained local govts to do, but SF is less constrained than most.

SF is not in a bad or horrible position because it’s a wealthy city/county but almost every dept every budget year is asked to shave 1-3% as the obligations crowd out service expansion.

just listened to a great podcast on Janus and the guest made the point that the destruction of private sector unions paved the way for stoking resentment against public employees after the crash. big money went to prime people to tear down rather than build up collectively.
