I’m interested by the article, and I enjoy that you linked it here. And I would prefer that you kept it even farther away from the ideological end of the spectrum.
What I meant by “almost at its best” is that the raw human capital of San Francisco is on a global scale incredibly good. There are few cities that have higher quality inhabitants.
I’m not quite sure why that is an ideological statement. As to the title I just reused the original, I don’t literally agree with it since I can think of at least one big US city that is worse run.
You were pressing it into the service of a sweeping generalization, and all generalizations are ideological*. And, because of the selection implied in the very title of the post, generalization here is hasty.
