In a few years, anyone who travels to SF will be able to take the tour of the financial district and be shown the gleaming monuments of stupidity which will be the former headquarters of many businesses. Chevron moved out long ago, to San Ramon for instance.

What's next? A tax on companies with customers in the city?

Already in place, it's called the internet sales tax.

Sorry but Mister Sulu George Takei would have twelve national network TV and radio microphones in his face at a podium denouncing the internment camp capitalist idea and demanding the derelicts be given syringes, voter ID cards and limo rides back to a begging area next to the four star restaurant outdoor seating area of their choice in SF.

Subsidize the things you want more of, tax the things you want less of.

The businesses that are in SF should be more than willing to give to the homeless, I would suggest cutting the workers salaries to help pay a portion and then give maybe 5 to 10% of the companies profits, that should help some after all being in SF is a privilege.

The only good idea:
Tax the Leftists. Liberals who have expressed support for tax propositions on the record,socialist candidate supporters who have given donations to them, and others proven to be Dems,Socialists or Leftist Media people.

THEY love the taxes so much, let THEM pay them.

A joke, right? No.

Precedent: there is no flat tax, the “progressive” tax hurts the wealthy producers and benefits the non-working video game addicts still living in mom’s house, the people who don’t feel like working,and others.

So,if uneven tax rates are so great and proven to be legal, then tax the leftists and not us.

An hour east of San Francisco is the western edge of the San Joaquin Valley with exurbs and farmland and no forests and I happen to live an hour east of SFO. We are already dealing with migrant workers and the drug alley running up and down the valley. How about four hours east to central Nevada? Btw, it has been several years since we have set foot in SFO.

After dad retired from the Army, we sailed into Oakland in 1961.
It looked damned good to me back then.

I was going to say, Seattle just tried this move and it didn’t work out so well for them. They had to back away.

Nevada has quite enough liberal parasite Californians, thankyouverymuch.

Conservative working Californians are always welcome.

Frisco is going to have a cholera outbreak soon if it doesn’t clean up its sidewalks.

One case, and the city’s tourism and convention business is dead.

Two cases, and people start leaving the city.

Three cases, and everyone traveling to CA will be mandated to get a cholera shot.

$300 million figure doubles how much San Francisco currently spends.


I fully expect the homeless numbers to double as result of this tax.

More poop, sadly that could happen.

Sometimes people post a picture of a map of San Francisco showing where deposits of feces are found.

The first time I saw that, I thought it was a joke.

It shocked me to learn that this was a real map, used as a guide to where the problems were.

Actually the plan is to fund “non-profits” who kick back sums to the local politicians.

This has worked well in the past so more is better!
