*** 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

They built this city......🤣
A stone's throw from DFW Airport is Grapevine, and the Gaylord. Those on per diem pig out at the Hard 8 BBQ in nearby Coppell.
My sister used to work at Wells Fargo in SF. Part of her job was scheduling sales meetings. I suggested to her she check out DFW, and it was a hit. Turns out that everybody was able to fly direct to DFW, no connecting flights. They had it at the Gaylord.
I’d like to hand it to San Francisco. You can’t deny they
really tried to win this top prize.
...if you turn the barrel upside down.
Amen!
What a surprise Not 🤪
Libtards did that
They are pissed because they weren’t first aren’t they? (Admitting here that I haven’t read the article or the comments in true FR fashion).
“SECOND!!!!????”
Yea, but to DC.....that’s no surprise.
Durham, NC one of the TOP ten best run???????
ROFLMAO!!!!!!!!!!
And she works in #1. LOL
They try harder.
Several major IT, medical, and technology conferences have pulled out of the city in the last 2 years.
We knew the roads were horrible. Poor Paul Pelosi hit a pothole.

I’m stunned that the pimps, whores and fags that run san fran are surprised the country knows what a dump that city is. It’s legendary. It’s the butt of redneck humor, as is their entire sewer of a state.
Durham NC tenth best run???
I doubt it when they can’t keep a snow plow running
What tourist/convention trade? There ain't none.
My husband got a short term gig reworking a public works mess in OKC. I’ve lived in LA, SF, NYC, Portland. OKC is a nicely run city. Not fancy, has problems....but pretty well run. Very nice people.
Maybe Chicago didn’t make the list because it’s no longer a functioning city, but rather a third-world, despotic, failed territory run by criminal gangs and warlords. The only thing separating Chicago from Somalia is that its denizens have not yet begun pirating ships on Lake Michigan. Give it time, though…
Any listing that doesn’t have Seattle as at least a top five contender has no credibility. And where are stalwarts of bad management like Chicago, Baltimore and St. Louis?
They can be worst. COME ON San Fansickoristos. Start crapping in the streets more. You can do it.
