Despite some idealistic intentions, that framework is in fact what put Muni in the financial hole in the first place. Working from a scarcity mindset, namely trying to preserve an already pilfered service, is a losing battle. To guarantee the service that citizens and workers expect from a city like San Francisco requires a committed vision of the future, one that centers Muni as the public good that it is.

In your younger years, you may have wanted a bustling city with great brunch spots, happy hour deals, and bars that stayed open until the wee hours of the morning. But when you think about where you want to live as a family, you have to consider proximity to highly rated schools, possibly a more spacious home, and ways you can engage with your community.
