Is your point (1) “See, the right-libertarians are right: put liberals in power and this is what they do” or (2) “Don’t take this article too seriously; it was probably written by right-libertarians and reflects their stereotypes rather than reality” or (3) something else?
Something else. I’m not too familiar with the newspaper, so I wouldn’t know whether it is right-libertarian biased (JoshuaZ says it’s not, and the fact that it is based in SF is also evidence that it’s not). The article had enough specifics that it’s pretty hard to attribute all of its claims to bias anyway. And 1 isn’t quite right either; the New England states are easy counterexamples. I was simply noting that a lot of the problems in San Francisco are fairly similar to the ones right-libertarians are often concerned about. I guess my comment was a bit vague; sorry.
Oh dear, it’s like San Francisco is being run by liberals as stereotyped by right-libertarians.
The article is from the San Francisco Weekly which isn’t exactly right-libertarian.

It’s possible that many of the right-libertarians ended up that way because of SF’s problems.
