So their unemployment is lower than the state average and only slightly higher than the national average.
They have universal preschool for those who wish to send their children, universal healthcare, and universal after school programs for youth.
Healthy San Francisco:

Paid sick leave is mandated
The crime rate is the lowest in a decade.
Now, it's not perfect. Like most cities in the current economy, their arew budget cuts to be made and I strongly disagree with their sanctuary city policies. Overall, however... I'm not seeing how 'San Francisco Values' are necessarily so evil.

Employers' Perspectives on San Francisco's Paid Sick Leave PolicyThis report summarizes strategies San Francisco employers used to implement the nation's first law requiring paid sick days for all employees, based on interviews with a sample of businesses. Although employers faced three new policies that affected staff wages and benefits, they were able to implement the paid sick leave requirement with minimal impacts to their business. The report details employer responses to the law in their operations, staffing, employee benefit packages, and reporting requirements. By assessing employers' perspectives on the operational challenges of the law, the study provides lessons to inform future research and policymaking.
