Bad policy rooted in idealism precipitated the collapse of those cities. Same thing is happening in SF. We can bicker about the details, but it's the same thing. 20 years from now, some well intentioned idiot is going to blame corruption and white flight for the fall of SF.

Don't be so simplistic. I agree that bad policies rooted in (mistaken) idealism precipitated the decline of San Francisco. But I always thought it was the loss of manufacturing jobs, corruption, and white flight that caused Detroit to collapse. What do you think it was? What bad policies rooted in idealism precipitated the collapse of Detroit?
