One of the great joys of journalism is getting to watch firsthand as politicians discover the consequences of their own actions — especially when those politicians are the hapless morons running San Francisco, KayleeDMcGhee writes.
But alas, it turns out the states didn’t mind San Francisco’s ban that much. Here’s an incredible quote from a February report by the City Administrator’s Office:"This increase [in states added to the blacklist] suggests that the city's threat of boycott may not serve as a compelling deterrent to states considering restrictive policies."
In their repeal, city officials also cited the astronomical increase in contracting costs the city had been forced to take on as a result of the ban’s restrictions. The City Administrator’s Office estimated that San Francisco’s annual contracting costs had increased by more than 20%, with the city spending more than $475,000 in staffing expenses alone to carry out the ban.
Even the blacklist’s author admitted that his efforts to punish “the sins of … radical right-wing governments” has backfired. “Sadly, it’s time to acknowledge that this policy hasn’t worked and that we need to pull back,” state Sen. Scott Wiener said.
