what about a ballot prop to dissolve the government of San Francisco and start over, in an emergency election?

Unfortunately I would think it’s doomed to failure. We just had an election where all the problematic incumbents got re-elected and turnout was 85%+
possible, but it was a trump election, which brought everyone out to fight the orange man, and they just voted down the ticket for the rest. there also wasn't a viable, clearly-differentiated alternative.

In my district (D3), I thought
@DannySauter had a good campaign that was very visible, and was disappointed that the incumbent Peskin got 53% in the first round of voting (56% after round 3). 73% of total registered voters in my district voted in that contest. -
That's the problem, we are not as engaged as we think. It's easier to just vote based on party recommendations, I do that too. The challengers don't offer a clear enough policy alternative or how they would conduct things differently. There's not that much of a gap in policy.
