*** Two Bay Area cities ranked poorly in a recent study by WalletHub that examined the operating efficiency of 150 U.S. cities and identified which are run well and which are not. The personal finance website looked at metrics related to a city's operating budget and the quality of the services it provides — everything from public school to transit — to quantify who's at the top of the list and who's at the bottom.
San Francisco came in at No. 149, making it the second-worst-run city in the country, according to WalletHub's metrics. Only our nation's capital, Washington, D.C., was worse.
"San Francisco ranked particularly poorly when it comes to long-term debt outstanding per capita, where it was second to last," WalletHub analyst Jill Gonzalez wrote in an email to SFGATE. "It also has the lowest quality of roads in the country — 18 times worse than No. 1 Jacksonville. The city did, however, rank better when it comes to its health and education numbers."
The study scored each city by measuring the per-capita operating budget against the quality of 38 services spread across six categories: financial stability, education, health, safety, economy and infrastructure and pollution. The city's credit rating by Moody's and the outstanding long-term debt per capita were considered under financial stability. Public school ratings and the high school graduation rate fell under education, and infant mortality rate, average life expectancy and quality of the public hospital system were among several factors weighed in the health category.
The violent and property crime rates, as well as motor vehicle fatalities per capita, were among those factors considered in safety, and under the economy category there was a long list of metrics including unemployment rate, median household income and share of population living in poverty. ***MORE

(these 10 ranked as the worst-run)
Almost as if there’s something inherently wrong with how they govern.
🤔🤔🤔
Good. Be mad. Get go and mad because the whole country sees San Francisco sinking further into the muck.
So, let all the excuse making, feigned indifference, accusations of ‘racism’ and sexism begin!
Mayor Breed, you are now a nationally known figure!
**Mayor Lori Light-headed wipes her brow with relief and silently gloats at the misfortune of the other Democrat mayors. She’ll drink to that!
(City officials are livid.)
Not that there’s anything wrong with that.
SECOND!!!!????
san fran is on a downward trajectory so there is always next year
I wonder what’s the common denominator in those worst-run cities? Think, man, think. Could it be that those cities are all run by democrats, hum?
Amusing to see San Franciscans get upset about being labeled the 2nd worst-run city in the USA but are perfectly OK with being labeled the most degenerate, hedonistic, homosexual capital of the world. Some things never change.
There is another strong similarity shared among the highest ranking.
Nancy lives in Number 2 ,LOL
San Francisco used to be a popular city for business conventions. My son went twice several years ago and said that he won’t ever go back. I wonder how the city’s downfall is impacting the tourist/convention trade?
Havent been to their Chinatown for quite a few years— but loved it there.
And there’s #2 everywhere in city #2...
(City officials are livid.)
Every leftist city is a hell hole.
Because they just know that their policies will work; just needs more time!
🥴😀🤣🤣🤣🤣
