Siyamak sits down with Tony Hall, a former supervisor from San Francisco. He will talk about why San Francisco has an annual budget of $15 billion—while still struggling to provide basic services—and what has made the city’s budget so expensive.
“A third of downtown is empty. Businesses are closing, the revenue has gone down, but the budget keeps going up. It’s now almost $15 billion,” Mr. Hall said. “I'll tell you how it happens. It is from the usage of nonprofits. Nonprofits that are indiscriminate and answerable to nobody. That’s the real question that people should be concerned about.”
