Nothing gets done in San Francisco without the approval of six members of the board of supervisors. See, for example, the recent battle over (checks notes) whether to extend the contract of a ferris wheel in a park.
... where half the proceeds were going to an independent non-profit organization implicated in a Federal corruption probe involving city officials.
I don't know the story on that or if it's true, but the actual debate was entirely about "it's a park, not an amusement park" and whether birds might get confused by the wheel's illumination.
