Why it matters
San Francisco's pro-business policies are successfully drawing film production away from Los Angeles. The expanded incentive program, which Mayor Daniel Lurie signed into law in February, is cited as a factor that could help bring more productions to the city.
Hollywood productions are reportedly leaving Los Angeles and the United States, citing struggles faced by companies like History for Hire Prop House.
