Their first mistake was choosing to live/buy a house in San Francisco.
See post #7.
You’re right. If something good happens in a Democrat-run city these days, it is only by accident.

My oldest daughter. and her husband bought a property in Des Moines. A 7-unit apt bldg that was a mansion, converted to apartments in the 1930s, vacant and distressed. Son-in-law converted it back into a single family building. He said it was a joy to work with city building officials there, no problems at all to approve all work. Big difference from San Francisco jerk officials.
Especially if have or plan to have children.

Easily the happiest days of my life. I met my wife, had two kids, mortgage in the Sunset, cat, dog and garden, three blocks from Golden Gate Park, 8 blocks to the Ocean. The best of times. Kids grew up, wife wanted to go back home, alone, sold the house. Loved San Francisco. 1994-2016.
