The city will have a tax base of federal and state government workers, all working remotely from home, (wink, wink) for their own safety. The rest will have to count on Snake Pliskin.

I’m not so sure about that. After bouncing around as did the Legislature and Governor, the Supreme Court settled in San Francisco instead of the capital of Sacramento just over 150 years ago, and SF is still the seat of the judicial branch. Beyond that, SF has your usual number of state and federal workers you’d expect in a large city, but by no means is it a government town. The pillars of the economy are tourism, tech and retail, all of which are being hit very hard. The city lost $484 million dollars in tax revenue. Remote workers, most of whom can’t even afford to live in the city, aren’t going to rescue them

Even Snake Pliskin is leaving town saying “It isn’t worth saving”.
