I don’t really see a problem since this will only affect SF residents who obviously want to pay since they keep voting in these people.

Think how they could improve their economy and equity by making 50,000 new billionaires! They would be rolling in dough. Just think of the revenue it would create.........
On a serious note, San Fran and California are a financial mess of their own making AND the former mayor and governor of both is the leading man to be their nominee in 2024.

Oh, conditions, so NOT every “Black” resident.
Way to tee up the most epic rioting ever!
Having made the proposal, which is surely already being taken as a promise, failure to deliver will also lead to rioting.
So riots and mayhem either way.
I am very glad to be hundreds of miles away!

Can I identify as being black? I have a feeling, thousands will do that.

Who will be left to pay for it after the I’m not gonna give away my stuff people flee the city leaving the gimmiestuffians behind? This is a Dr Seuss fable waiting to be written for some SF drag queen’s children’s story hour.

That seals it. I am moving to San Francisco, declaring myself African-American, and getting 5 million dollars for reparations. I will also change my name to Hunter Biden so that I will not be prosecuted for fraud if my claim for reparations is questioned.
To: Zhang Fei
That’s preposterous. How can they expect slaves to have ID and proof of residency? It’s not like a slave can be expected to obtain a driver’s license or a voter ID card.

Interesting.
My last name was “Black” before I was adopted.
I’ll make a claim...

clap, clap, clap. So they are going to ask the descendants of coolies that settled in SF when working on the rail roads and in mines to pay this off? In a free state mind you. Way to go.

The ID theft rate will be epic.
