San Francisco

San Francisco's June 2026 ballot includes Prop D, an "Overpaid CEO Tax" that critics say would exempt major tech companies while hitting grocery stores and pharmacies with an 800% rate increase. Meanwhile, SFUSD's board voted 6-1 to adopt a new ethnic studies curriculum validated by a process opponents say was rigged — with litigation already filed the same night. Across both stories, a pattern is emerging: San Francisco institutions making major commitments with broken promises and flawed processes baked in from the start.
