Elected officials often say that budgets are “statements of values.” So KQED is checking the receipts of the \u003ca href=\"https://www.kqed.org/news/tag/city-budgets\">spending plans recently passed in San Francisco, San José and Oakland\u003c/a> to see how leaders in the region’s three largest cities are prioritizing taxpayer dollars.\u003c/em>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>On July 26, San Francisco Mayor London Breed signed a $14.6 billion budget, after weeks of negotiations with the San Francisco Board of Supervisors over how to address a projected $780 million two-year deficit.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>While that’s an eye-popping number compared to the budgets of San José and Oakland, it’s helpful to remember San Francisco is a county, as well as a city, and therefore funds additional expenses that Oakland and San José do not.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003cimg decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-11957666\" src=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/V9yeN-san-francisco-2023-24-budget-1.png\" alt=\"A graph that shows San Francisco's 2023-24 $14.6 Billion Budget\" width=\"1788\" height=\"416\" srcset=\"https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/V9yeN-san-francisco-2023-24-budget-1.png 1788w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/V9yeN-san-francisco-2023-24-budget-1-800x186.png 800w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/V9yeN-san-francisco-2023-24-budget-1-1020x237.png 1020w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/V9yeN-san-francisco-2023-24-budget-1-160x37.png 160w, https://ww2.kqed.org/app/uploads/sites/10/2023/08/V9yeN-san-francisco-2023-24-budget-1-1536x357.png 1536w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1788px) 100vw, 1788px\">\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The biggest budget battle in San Francisco centered on redirecting permanent housing funds to homeless shelters and temporary housing, similar to a controversial budget proposal in San José over homelessness spending. Breed proposed using $60 million earmarked by voters for permanent housing to fund her plan. Similarly, she also proposed dipping into a voter-approved tax that funds early childhood education and child care.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The Board of Supervisors tussled with the mayor’s office over those proposed changes in negotiations for weeks. Ultimately, they reached a compromise using money they only later realized was available, using accrued interest from those two tax measures.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c/p>\u003c/div>","attributes":{"named":{},"numeric":[]}},{"type":"component","content":"","name":"ad","attributes":{"named":{"label":"fullwidth"},"numeric":["fullwidth"]}},{"type":"contentString","content":"\u003cdiv class=\"post-body\">\u003cp>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Like San José, San Francisco’s budget also includes funding to increase the city’s police force. The police department budget grew by 8.5%, enough to hire 220 officers in the coming years. Public pressure to address a feared rise in crime prompted most lawmakers to back the mayor’s plan to increase the police department, one of the largest expansions in San Francisco’s spending plan, even as other departments were asked to take a cut.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"One-Time Funding Solutions in San Francisco's 2023–24 Budget\" aria-label=\"Bar Chart\" id=\"datawrapper-chart-cD4o8\" src=\"https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/cD4o8/3/\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border: none;\" width=\"800\" height=\"654\" data-external=\"1\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>San Francisco’s shrinking daytime population and vacant office space blew a $780 million hole in San Francisco’s budget. Escalating health insurance costs and pensions contributed, as well.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>But the way lawmakers plugged that hole won’t hold for long. The city’s two-year budget was balanced using nearly $1 billion in one-time funds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This funding comes from a number of sources, including an opioid lawsuit settlement against Walgreens, FEMA reimbursements for emergency pandemic spending and various reserve funds.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The use of one-time sources to meet a budget need isn’t unheard of. And according to the City Controller’s Office, the use of one-time funding falls within the city’s legally mandated limits. But in a budget briefing letter, the controller also warned, “The use of one-time or nonrecurring sources to support ongoing operations creates a future budget shortfall, requiring expenditures to be reduced or replacement resources identified.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>That means it’s the budget equivalent of using chewing gum to plug a leak. If downtown doesn’t boom like a Gold Rush in the near future, then San Francisco lawmakers will need to make drastic cuts in future budgets.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>The two-year budget is often revised in its second year so lawmakers can adjust it to the realities of tax revenue projections. If the projections don’t hold, Breed can look forward to a bitter fight over what departments to cut during her mayoral re-election bid.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>\u003c!-- iframe plugin v.4.3 wordpress.org/plugins/iframe/ -->\u003cbr>\n\u003ciframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"San Francisco's Projected Deficit in Upcoming Fiscal Years \" aria-label=\"Interactive line chart\" id=\"datawrapper-chart-cMZn6\" src=\"https://datawrapper.dwcdn.net/cMZn6/5/\" scrolling=\"no\" frameborder=\"0\" style=\"border: none;\" width=\"800\" height=\"400\" data-external=\"1\" class=\"iframe-class\">\u003c/iframe>\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>This year’s budget process didn’t turn into the bloodbath many predicted it would.

But it’s not enough money to offset a shrinking tax base from a massive dip in office use. A variety of taxes are tied to how many people work in San Francisco, from property taxes to various business taxes, and all of those have taken a hit post-pandemic.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Seeing this all coming down the pike, Mayor Breed and Board of Supervisors President Aaron Peskin passed legislation to foster economic growth downtown. Much of that was supported in this year’s budget, including a program to waive city fees for small businesses in their first year of operation, and the “vacant to vibrant” program which will help artists beautify empty ground-floor spaces, and give grants to business owners to fill those storefronts.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Studies have cited San Francisco’s reliance on the tech industry and the outsized impact of work-from-home as a major factor in its slow recovery from the pandemic.
