Commission Impossible’: Can you eliminate 70 of San Francisco’s 135 commissions?

San Francisco has 135 commissions. One local proposition on the November ballot will decrease it to 65. Do you think you can eliminate that many?

Great work from the SF Chronicle. With two contrasting propositions to eliminate city commissions in the upcoming election, the paper offers a game to try to eliminate as many commissions as you can, facts on what the city has found when it tried, and then details how the two propositions would work. It's a great explainer and Prop D (which is backed by a tech bro PAC) comes off looking real silly.
