Everyone, even the Washington Post, agrees that San Francisco has become a ridiculous, wildly over-priced city with serious problems. According to WAPO, it's that being the hub of Tech and new money has caused hyper-gentrification and a white/asian, virtually childless, mono-culture, which nonetheless hasn't worked out how to deal with the homeless.
What's interesting, I think, is that this is a liberal take on the problems in the city; Republicans hate it for completely different reasons, thinking it an example of how liberal loving voters just can't run a city properly.
But, apart from a likely valid point that a city deserves better regulation of poor street behaviour, don't Republicans ever think that the city sets an example of how (contrary to general Right wing expectations) money fixes everything?

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that San Francisco is a wonderful city that is no more over-priced than, say, Melbourne or Sydney.
