Bureaucracy

San Francisco bureaucracy focuses on the wrong things. See this article for the backstory.

A San Francisco woman was faced with a $1,400 bill to keep her “Little Free Library” in front of her house after one complaint, even though it’s been there for years. I love these little library boxes that dot the city. There’s one on my block. They’re a great community addition.

I love San Francisco. But in a city that suffers from the ongoing drug epidemic and struggles with too many fentanyl overdoses, stories like this illustrate where the city bureaucrats focus on the wrong things.

We’ll see how people feel about going to the office after the conference.
