San Francisco’s London Breed is America’s highest-paid mayor—being paid a $342,974 salary, plus $109,447 in perks, for a grand total of $452,421—but her city set an all-time record in 2019 with nearly 31,000 reports of human waste on the streets and sidewalks.
Breed is far from the exception among the City by the Bay’s workforce, as nearly 19,000 of her colleagues get total compensation of $150,000 or more annually, according to public records compiled by Open the Books.
