They should at least have a citywide vote on the issue. If that happens, it will be defeated.

The SF city budget is about $7 billion annually.

I thought it was racist to ask certain segments of the population for ID? Does this mean that requirement will get scrapped or can we finally have a same voting requirements?

Exactly! 5 million? Why not 5 Billion?!? Extra melanin demands it!

I mean really! When this first started, I heard $233K each. that was per the state. Then I heard $300k, then either $800K each or we riot. Now we’re at $5M??

Tell ya what - how about a blank check. We’ll make it easy: You black folks just walk into any store and take whatever you want... oh wait.

They will ask for and receive a federal grant from the Biden Administration.

Gonna buy stock in popcorn because I can’t see any way that this isn’t going to end without violence at some level, and millions of us across the nation are going to be glued to their TVs watching it unfold.

African Americans constitute 6% of San Francisco’s population, a percentage similar to that for California as a whole. The majority of the city’s black population reside within the neighborhoods of Bayview-Hunters Point, Visitacion Valley, and the Fillmore District. SF population is 842k.

They want the guaranteed income PLUS reparations and all of LBJ’s Great Society benefits, IMO.

Obviously none of you posters understand liberal economics.

1) Give blacks 5 million to vote democrat

2) Tax residents 95%

3) Use billions taxed from blacks windfall to pay off friends and donors and state deficit goes away.

See how simple that is?

If it passes, it will only be a matter of time before they secure federal funding— that means we all will pay.

To qualify, people need to have identified as black on public records for at least 10 years and be at least 18 years old.

Ha! Black thugs will migrate to SF in order to kill, steal, leach, con, rob other blacks that don't qualify.

You are correct, never under estimate the lengths a politician will go to for votes. Spending other people’s’ money is just par for the course.

Yeah. Not gonna happen—the money just isn’t there. Maybe the Blacks will get sufficiently angry and burn SF to the ground? Or maybe they’ll just loot the remaining retailers in SF and Oakland?

So basically, San Francisco is going to switch from dumping cash into High-Speed Rail to dumping cash into Reparations?
