Today, all eyes are on the West Coast poop-riddled city of San Francisco — a town which recently faced a rather ironic turn of events much like a totally expected plot twist in a really bad theatrical play. Back in 2016, in response to what the city perceived as “Hitler-like” polices from the incoming Trump administration, San Francisco passed an absurd law called “12X.” This legislation barred city-sponsored travel and business contracts with states deemed to discriminate against the LGBTQ community. Originally, eight red states landed on this list. However, six years later, that list had grown to 30 red states — a significant expansion of the city’s hysterical stance and one they simply can’t sustain.

Now, in a totally expected twist, San Francisco’s liberal Mayor London Breed will repeal the very legislation that catapulted the city into the progressive limelight.

Fortune:

San Francisco is repealing a ban on city-funded travel to 30 states that it says restrict abortion, voting and LGBTQ rights after determining the boycott is doing more harm than good.

The Board of Supervisors voted 7-4 on Tuesday to repeal a section of the city’s administrative code that prohibits staff from visiting and city departments from contracting with companies headquartered in the states, which include Texas, Florida and Ohio.

California, meanwhile, is considering the repeal of a similar law.

City supervisors will hold a second and final vote next Tuesday. Mayor London Breed is expected to sign the measure.

The progressive city passed the boycott in 2016, after the U.S. Supreme Court legalized same-sex marriage nationwide. At first, the boycott applied only to states that it considered restricted the rights of LGBTQ people. Later, the list was expanded to include states that limit access to voting and abortion.

It can be quite challenging to exert “economic pressure” when your city is overwhelmed by issues such as widespread homelessness, unsanitary conditions with human waste everywhere, drug-related problems involving a sea of dirty needles and soaring crime rates.

After all, these days, the only people on the streets of San Francisco are drug addicts and mentally ill homeless people.

More from Fortune:

The idea was to exert economic pressure on those conservative states. Instead, a report released last month by the city administrator concluded that the policy was raising costs and administrative burdens for the city. Because of restrictions, there were fewer bidders for city work and that ending the boycott might reduce contracting costs by 20% annually, the report concluded.

In addition, the city had approved hundreds of exemptions and waivers for some $800 million worth of contracts, the report said.

Meanwhile, “no states with restrictive LGBTQ rights, voting rights, or abortion policies have cited the city’s travel and contract bans as motivation for reforming their law,” the review concluded.

The City by The Bay has suffered for 7-long years under this nonsensical law just to make a silly point that nobody cared about and ultimately hurt them in the long wrong. But hey, they meant well, so it’s all good…

The measure “was a well-intentioned effort at values-based contracting but ultimately did not accomplish the social change it sought to effect,” Board President Aaron Peskin, who co-sponsored the repeal, said in a statement. “Instead, this onerous restriction has led to an uncompetitive bidding climate and created serious obstructions to everything from accessing emergency housing to being able to cost-effectively purchase the best products and contracts for the City.”

Scott Wiener, a former supervisor-turned-state senator who authored the original ban, agreed that the measure hadn’t produced the intended results.

It seems that San Francisco stood alone in its willingness to commit economic suicide, as no other cities were eager to join in. Go figure.

“We believed a coalition of cities and states would form to create true consequences for states that pass these despicable, hateful laws,” the San Francisco Democrat said in a statement. “Yet, as it turned out, that coalition never formed, and the full potential impact of this policy never materialized. Instead, San Francisco is now penalizing businesses in other states — including LGBTQ-owned, women-owned, and people of color-owned businesses — for the sins of their radical right wing governments.”

In addition, city staff have been unable to fly to many states for cooperative work on issues ranging from HIV prevention to transportation, Wiener said.

This idea was such a spectacular flop that now the entire state of California is reevaluating their “boycotts” of red states as well.

Similar problems have led California to consider mothballing its own 2016 ban on state travel to states it deems discriminate against LGBTQ people.

California now bans state-funded travel to nearly half of the country following a surge of anti-LGBTQ legislation in mostly Republican-led states.

San Francisco’s recent blunder and reversal are admissions that progressive policies and political overreach don’t work. San Francisco is now facing utter collapse thanks to their emotional and impulsive decision-making rather than practical, common-sense approaches that aim to enhance the well-being of their residents. This failure highlights the need for policies that support and improve the overall quality of life for citizens — not silly and destructive liberal virtue signaling.
