Do I agree with San Francisco?

San Francisco Ballot Measures

I've sometimes wondered how often I agree with San Francisco on the endless ballot measures. I have a vague sense after each election but I've never bothered with the bigger picture. Thanks to AI it's now a pretty easy question to answer - I fed blog posts to ChatGPT and then the resulting data to Claude Opus to whip me up some python visualization. Which looks like this:

That's a decade of trying to understand what the measures actually mean and do the right thing.

Maybe there is a downward trend, but throw away the outliers and I'm pretty solidly around 70%. San Francisco should save the money and just ask me.
