[dynachrome]

Yeah a real puzzler as to why this happened./s

[beethovenfan]

Nobody wants to live in Nancy’s San Franshitsco.

[cgbg]

where did that spending go

That is why they call economics the dismal science.

Economists are dismal idiots!

[Jane Long]

Let Queen Nantoinnette and all of the Hollyweirdos pick up the shortfall tab.

[irishjuggler]

And this is why Nancy is pushing for a blue state/city bailout. And if Biden wins, she’ll get it in spades.

[P.O.E.]

Hooda thunkit

[E. Pluribus Unum]

Not to worry.

As soon as Biden is elected the CCP will fill it with ChiCom citizens.

[know.your.why]

Wow. Imagine that...

[Pontiac]

Who knows?

If this exodus continues you maybe able to get a two bedroom bungalow on 1/8 acre in a semi-decent neighborhood for less than $1.5 million

[SkyDancer]

And will raise taxes on those that remain to cover what is lost by those that left.

[ChildOfThe60s]

Cause and effect. The world’s greatest mystery to liberals.

Why is it when someone asks “how dumb can you be”, liberals take that as a challenge?

[Mariner]

Prior to the lockdowns, SF used to get around 1 million people per day entering the city, and spending money there.

From tourists to office workers and janitors.

Then came the lockdowns., the TRUE source of this reduction of tax revenue.

The author and the city economist want you to believe San Francisco lost 42% of its population, which is ludicrous on its face.

[Lizavetta]

rather than a decline in activity due to the pandemic.

NO! They are leaving because it is lawless, dirty, and expensive. The pandemic just became the last straw.

[Blood of Tyrants]

The DemocRats’ solution? Raise taxes, of course.

[PGR88]

Where the frack are California’s GOP? They have been given issue after issue on a silver salver, yet there is zero opposition voice there.

Are these cucks still beholden to the Romney-National Review-Chamber of Commerce wing of the Party???

[V V Camp Enari 67-68]

Maybe he can’t figure it out, but we sure can!

[Gamecock]

Only one solution, raise the taxes even more!

[monkeyshine]

San Francisco’s chief economist Ted Egan attributed the drop in revenue...to a flight of individuals from the city, rather than a decline in activity due to the pandemic.

This is a distinction without a difference.

If you really wanted to be, ya know, 'scientific' about it, you would do a per capita ticket/receipt count to find out if there was actually no decline in per capita spending, vs a decline in people spending.

[wny]

...and the San Fran refugees shall, like cockroaches, move onto and invest a heretofore fine neighborhood. And destroy it.

[Huskrrrr]

It’s a beautiful thing.

[ptsal]

Golden state goodbye
