"The damage that indecision has caused is finally showing."

This is not indecision, this is wilful and intentional. From the article below from the Brookings institute, "Mayor London Breed said that she will work with community groups to reprioritize funding." That is what she is doing.

"We no longer have the ability to make big long term plans to fix things, because by then we will be out of people."

That is the goal. The mayor and her supporters do not want you to fix it. "they want to see the rotten trees of policing chopped down and fresh roots replanted anew." Those fresh roots are not new police officers.

You are charging windmills at this point. It is not a secret what they are doing and why they are doing it.

A great review on how they are going to fix San Franciscos problems is below from the Brookinigs institute.

Thanks for the link I’ll check it out. I agree that on the political side it seems willful and intentional. On the PD side I think a lot of it is indecision…but maybe we are just fighting windmills ;-)
