San Francisco voters back 'homeless tax' on wealthy firms

[Umka36 781]

At least the people got to vote for it themselves, unlike how they tried to do it in Seattle.

I sense you support the tax?  

 

Have never understood why it is the burden of the successful to pay for those who are not willing to work for things in life.

What ensures any of those businesses stay in this new tax zone?

this is where facts will disprove theory, on paper a logical solution if the companies affected support it, easy enough to move companies

Gonna take a lot of money to clean up all the feces in the streets.

Far from it in regards to supporting the tax, but the people were able to vote for this unlike how it was in Seattle even though it was reversed in the end.

 

The successful (IT sector) could just move to another location without issue and the burden would be on the folks/city who would loose out on the  business tax revenue. Personally would never live in the downtown area anyways due to cost/crime.

Ok, thanks for the direct answer and clarification.  (For some here, that seems a hard thing to do)

 

I wasn’t aware it happened in Seattle without a vote, will have to read up on that.  And I’ll take your comment one step further and state that I don’t think I would ever move back to CA in this lifetime.  Too many things that go against my personal grain are the norm there.
