You wouldn't notice when visiting a city how much revenue they have, and how much bang for the buck the residents are getting from it. I mean, with the amount of property taxes alone people in SF pay, you would think they could pave the streets with gold, and house the homeless in luxury penthouses with psychiatric services 24/7. But they don't. While Jackson, MS, as a depressed area, has a comparatively very small revenue to work with, but maybe they do more with what little they have, so get a better ranking. So maybe it really is "better run" than SF. I know several people who've fled the Bay Area in recent years. In fact it's one of the places in the country where rents and property values have declined recently. Maybe somehow this relates to its placement at the bottom of WalletHub's list.
