“We shall get rid of business taxes!”............. implied “No one said anything about business fees” 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
“No taxes! Pay your fair share!”
Who says liberal kooks aren’t smart?
High taxes...part of the charm and allure of San Franfecal.
Hey dipstick, keep taxing businesses so they can pass that cost on to the consumers. Duh!
The leftist citizens that apparently love the chance to catch cholera, or a bullet.
Here’s a suggestion Your Honor. One thing at a time. How about you address the crime problem first. You’re the Mayor. You get to hire the Chief of police and you get to set priorities. So do it. And if City Council doesn’t like it remind them that the Mayor has to sign any legislation to make it effective. No signature, no laws. Go ahead and override my veto, if you can.
Try that first. If you’re successful then go after the vagrants. If that works then maybe businesses will come back and you won’t have to talk about taxes so much, although lower taxes would be a good thing.
The best idea is to get rid of ALL "liberals"/wokies/Democrats/"progressives." (There is nothing liberal, awakened, democratic, or progressive about those people.)
“taxes lowered by one insane woke mayor can (and will) be raised by the next one.”
American cities have ruined their reputations—it would take many decades to repair.
This is the actual problem. Would any sane person open a business in San Francisco?
Stunning. But predictable.
A one-dimensional “solution”to a myriad-dimensional problem from a one-dimensional mind.
Still, for a Leftist lunkhead to dip into the realm of REDUCING taxation — that’s like an alcoholic showing up at AA for the first time. HASN’T yet admitted he’s got a problem, but his pain is great enough to drive him down the avenue he’s most resisted traversing, to admit the most feeble wisp of self-doubt, to permit the nativity of the idea that he may have been wrong, and give life to the notion that some relief of his pain may actually be found in the one place he had refused to go.
She comes across as a total idiot. Are mayors elected in SF or appointed by Satan?
With high crime and legalized shoplifting no business will wish to open shop there. Only gangs can open stores who will kill shoplifter crooks can exist there. Soon only homeless and illegal will live there—all others move out, until reforms come—if ever.
My understanding is that there is a board of supervisors, who are elected by neighborhoods to represent them. A head of the board is selected on a rotating basis to lead the board. When the last mayor, Mayor Ed Lee, died of a heart attack, a temporary acting mayor is the current head of the board of supervisors. That was London Breed at that time. The other non-selected board members protested and tried to dethrone her as acting mayor, perhaps because they thought she was inexperienced. But rules being rules, the courts sided with her. She was then easily re-elected and became permanent mayor for her term.
Senator Dianne Feinstein became powerful by a fluke as well. She was the current head of the board of supervisors when Mayor Moscone was murdered, and little-known Feinstein became acting mayor of SF.
It could be that some mayors of SF are appointed by Satan, if not by chance.
Perhaps. It is an unwise setup. In the past, a person would be elected by a neighborhood district to represent their interests on the board. In that way, all neighborhoods should get equal representation for their interests and make their needs known to the mayor.
Over the years, the board of supervisors pushed for more and more power. Initially, being a member was a part-time job with little work to be done. Then they lobbied for higher budgets and ever-larger staff, and then for the position to be full-time permanent work. They also instituted leverage over the mayor's office and departments. The mayor now can get little done without approval of the board, and can be overridden in some cases. City is run by committee, similar to what you call 'soviets'.
