The Education of San Francisco Leaders

Prohibited states in red (local news matters)

Beginning in 2016 the City of San Francisco refused to do business with--or allow its workers to travel to--states that don't comply with its views on LGBTQ, abortion, and voting rights.

“By prohibiting the City from doing business with half the nation, this policy has resulted in significant administrative costs and potentially far more significant contracting costs by limiting bidder competition,” the Tuesday letter said, adding that it is “also unclear if this policy has been effective in changing the policy-making choices of states subject to” the city’s ban.

Progressivism and wokeness will never be completely extinguished in San Francisco, but it's encouraging that San Francisco is willing to pull the plug on some policies that obviously aren't working.
