In 70 of 76 rated neighborhoods the homes held since the last century are assessed at under half of what the same kind of home that just sold is assessed at; downtown's office write-downs have started on 78 unsold parcels while the roll's downtown total still reads +18% against 2019; and citywide overtime reached $513M in FY2025-26, 57% of it to Police, Fire and Sheriff.
One real Mission block in 3D, and under it the same public records read for the whole city: Prop 13 next door, the downtown tax hole, overtime as a budget line, and the soft-story buildings still not braced.

The SF city budget is usually presented as dashboards and charts. This walks it instead: one real block of 24th St at Mission, actual building footprints extruded to LiDAR-measured heights and every street tree where it stands, rendered as a clickable diorama in the browser. Every object opens a budget card: the parcel's real assessed value and property tax, where its base year sits under Proposition 13 and how far below its neighbors it is assessed, its status in the soft-story retrofit program, what an average city-maintained street tree costs under the Prop E set-aside, who is responsible for the sidewalk. The block's public school opens the education side, storefront buildings list their registered businesses with the post-Prop-M business-tax structure, and small pedestrians show what a median renter, homeowner or retail worker sends the city each year. Nearly every object shows a street-level photograph, many as 360° panoramas. Below the block, the same assessor roll, budget and payroll records are read for the whole city in four sections, each with a rule written before the numbers were seen: how far long-held homes sit below the ones that just sold in each of the 117 neighborhoods, whether the downtown office write-downs the Controller forecasts have reached the roll, how overtime has grown and which departments take it, and where the unbraced soft-story buildings are. Every figure carries a confidence badge or a stated definition, with sources one click away.
