The city of San Francisco is reconsidering its boycott of socially conservative states after the restriction on travel and contracting failed to affect the policies of those states and increased the city’s contracting expenses by 10-20%. DOH!
What do we always say? GO WOKE, GO BROKE!
Not just San Francisco but the state of California pushed boycotts and travel bans on republican states that have banned transgender bathrooms or limited abortion.
In other words, California fought against states that do not support their sicko perversions, and they just learned that it cost them.
According to Fox News, the original “2016 ordinance, Chapter 12X, was initially passed in the wake of the Obergefell v. Hodges decision to include states that passed anti-LGBTQ legislation, but was amended twice in 2019 and 2021 to add additional states that passed restrictive abortion and voting rights legislation.”
According to the San Francisco Chronicle, the city’s restriction applies to 30 states, only one of which has been removed from the forbidden list – and it did not cite the San Francisco ban as the reason.

“While it is difficult to quantify the exact cost of 12X to the City, the Budget and Legislative Analyst notes that a loss in competition is likely to increase the City’s contracting costs by 10–20% annually,” according to a report released by Carmen Chu, the city administrator, earlier this month, adding, “These costs could continue to increase and compound overtime as the City’s potential contractor pool shrinks if the list of banned states grows.”
Chu has proposed multiple solutions, including completely ending the boycott or altering it in different ways.
Some members of the San Francisco Board of Supervisors have already submitted legislation to that effect, either demanding the repeal of the rule or exempting building contracts from the red-state boycott.
