> Said lack of funding is the primary cause of the inefficiencies

San Francisco? Lack of funding? $14 billion isn't enough?

The budget of San Francisco has roughly doubled in about the last ten years: is the government now twice as good at whatever it's supposed to do than it was ten years ago?




If anything the problem with San Francisco is that there is so much money that an entire ecosystem of nonprofits and contractors has evolved to feed off those funds.


The expression is "not enough money to do it right, but enough to do it twice".

You can easily blow out a budget with foolish upfront attempts to save money.
