Y’all keep thinking liberal means progressive and wondering why things keep getting worse.
It’s interesting that their water treatment district in literally fighting to do the least they can. It’s not that way everywhere.
Maybe I’m missing something, but why are they? If it’s public money where’s the profit (the reason everyone else lobbied for it) in doing minimum-possible-effort?
They didn’t want to stump up the cash for the fines & other costs.
But there was nothing progressive about the fines the city was racking up: San Francisco’s Supreme Court win negates proposed EPA penalties in the hundreds of millions of dollars and mandatory sewer system upgrades that would cost billions and billions.
In my experience, a lot of these politics are purely performative. Politicians get elected on the promise of ‘reducing regulations’ to ‘release the economy’, without any connection to reality. In office they than have to do something that looks like the thing they fought for. We’ve seen the same after Brexit. The ‘bad and idiotic’ EU regulations were dropped and untreated sewage was let into the sea.

Look I don’t like the Americans either but as an Australian having people not believe in ur country is a fait worse than death.
That’s how we Hobbits from the Shire were systematically denied and slaughtered by our colonizers.
alot of people moving to sf are rarely liberal, only the people that have lived here thier whole lives are usually the liberal ones. the transplants from tech employees all over the usa, has some interesting views, alot of them tend towards conservatism, its these conservatism taking advantage of social programs while ranting about said area.
