The election ballot for November 4, 2008 has two municipal [[measure]]s on it which exemplify San Francisco values in action. The first is to "decriminalize" [[prostitution]], which creates a legal [[limbo]] where prostitution continues to be illegal on a statewide level, but the San Francisco police are legally forbidden to arrest prostitutes or charge anyone with crimes related to prostitution.<ref>[https://www.breitbart.com/article.php?id=D93V4U0O0&show_article=1 Breitbart] San Francisco votes to decriminalize prostitution</ref> Again, San Francisco has curtailed the polices ability to perform its crimefighting duties.

San Francisco was one of the first cities in the country to ban [[trans fat]]s, citing a need to promote healthy living.<ref>http://www.nbc11.com/news/15177139/detail.html?rss=bay&psp=news</ref> This ban was then extended to a statewide ban, the first in the country.<ref>http://www.sfgate.com/cgi-bin/article.cgi?f=/c/a/2008/07/25/RV9N11VMPR.DTL</ref> Of course, the burden is placed on [[restaurant]]s and [[business]]es, who have to pay for more expensive and less tasty alternatives to use in their cooking. The ban absolves the blame from the consumer who chooses to eat a double cheeseburger with extra bacon and fries instead of a sensible sandwich and pickle. [[Chef]]s have been left wondering "how the trans fat ban will affect the bottom line".<ref>[http://www.zagat.com/Blog/Detail.aspx?SNP=NLA&SCID=37&BLGID=13729 LA Chefs React to Cali Trans Fats Ban]</ref> The trans fat ban is another instance of the city's anti-business policies.

San Francisco is also a "city of refugees", which means they have passed an [[ordinance]] that it is against the law to report [[illegal immigrant]]s to the United States authorities as they are required to legally do.  In other words, anyone upholding the federal law will get in trouble with the city.  This has led to a culture of underage drug dealers continuing their trade with impunity.<ref>http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,374803,00.html</ref>
