*** Two Bay Area cities ranked poorly in a recent study by WalletHub that examined the operating efficiency of 150 U.S. cities and identified which are run well and which are not. The personal finance website looked at metrics related to a city's operating budget and the quality of the services it provides — everything from public school to transit — to quantify who's at the top of the list and who's at the bottom.
San Francisco came in at No. 149, making it the second-worst-run city in the country, according to WalletHub's metrics. Only our nation's capital, Washington, D.C., was worse.
"San Francisco ranked particularly poorly when it comes to long-term debt outstanding per capita, where it was second to last," WalletHub analyst Jill Gonzalez wrote in an email to SFGATE. "It also has the lowest quality of roads in the country — 18 times worse than No. 1 Jacksonville. The city did, however, rank better when it comes to its health and education numbers."
The study scored each city by measuring the per-capita operating budget against the quality of 38 services spread across six categories: financial stability, education, health, safety, economy and infrastructure and pollution. The city's credit rating by Moody's and the outstanding long-term debt per capita were considered under financial stability. Public school ratings and the high school graduation rate fell under education, and infant mortality rate, average life expectancy and quality of the public hospital system were among several factors weighed in the health category.
The violent and property crime rates, as well as motor vehicle fatalities per capita, were among those factors considered in safety, and under the economy category there was a long list of metrics including unemployment rate, median household income and share of population living in poverty. ***MORE

This does not surprise me. It may be better now but last time I was in DC, there were what appeared to be homeless people and beggars everywhere. In some parts of DC, it is dangerous to walk at night dangerous. One person in our group, has MS and uses a motorized chair. Many of the sidewalks were in disrepair and there was no such thing as handicap accessibility either at intersections or in buildings. To enter a building whether government and private you practically go through a strip search.
There was one good aspect to DC which was the Washington Metropolitan Area Transit Authority. Getting around town using public transit was cheap and easily navigated. My two best memories of that last visit were having lunch in the Senate dining room and some of the restaurants around Dupont Circle.
It has been eons since I was in San Francisco. Even back when, it wasn't a city I would choose to live in. It's noisy and all those hills. Well, you would probably like running up them since it would be a killer exercise.
