SF is part of Mexifornia. Make the working people, corporations pay for liberal mistakes of homelessness, drug fill streets, & make sure you pay medical for all the illegals. Isn’t Mexifornia great?

Sounds like a slush fund to me.

There are plenty of jobs available unless CA is seriously lagging behind in jobs.

Bye-bye businesses with minimum wage going up and wanting to tax those who make over 200,000 a year and now this I see the fall of California coming soon

. Have you ever noticed, the 'concerned' politicians NEVER pursue a solution where THEY volunteer to reduce THEIR salaries, or raise THEIR taxes to fund these Socialistic programs? Eventually, overtaxed corps will FLEE...then, where will 'other people's money' come from?

Though I despise the notion, I hope they do it. And I hope they tax them to an obscene level where they feel compelled to relocate. Californistan is its own worst enemy. What happened in Seattle?

Vote no...

Salesforce supports this out of concern that the declining conditions of SF they will have a hard time attracting employees, the leaders of SF have let the streets turn into public toilets, this all started with Newsom, don’t let him take over the state.

I hope it passes. Should be fun to watch some in Silicon Valley cut costs and shareholder value to support while ensuring their fortunes explode.

Another bad Socialist idea that will result in lower overall employment, lower overall employee wages, and greater misallocation of private resources towards speculative whims. Losing Economics

No.

Good! Hope it passes!

Tech billionaires spar over San Francisco tax for homelessSan Francisco has a well-earned reputation as the most liberal city in the United States, but a proposed corporate tax to help the homeless is dividing some of the city’s tech billionaires. No no no Democrat politicians make a mess than ask everyone else to cover their mismanagement and the bill. Fuck the rich - take back our country from them, they are no smarter than us - they are just lucky. Don't kid yourself - it takes handwork to make the money and thousands to help them keep it.
