San Francisco has one of the highest densities of billionaires of any city in the world - 75 of them - and these billionaires have spent lavishly to fight antipoverty initiatives and taxes to help the city's homeless epidemic, and to secure tax breaks for their offices.

One thing they haven't spent on: San Francisco's official coronavirus relief fund.

SF Mayor London Breed created the #Give2SF fund and asked the city's billionaires to contribute to it. Out of 75, nearly 70 put in $0.00.

The fund was supposed to raise hundreds of millions. It's sitting at $10.5m.

Some billionaires, like @Jack moved money into a charitable LLC (a favored vehicle for dark-money lobbying and investment). These LLCs also didn't give to the city's fund.
