Why did San Francisco prohibit city contracts?
In 2016, states passed laws San Francisco didn't like. In response, the city prohibited contracts with companies headquartered in states that don't share San Francisco's values.
The result? Limited bidding options drove up public project costs 20% and added half a million dollars in bureaucratic costs for staffing expenses alone. In 2023, the city trashed the ban, most likely in a very expensive trash can. #comedy #California #SanFrancisco #economics #government
