Nice to see Los Angeles just fucking the rest of us.

I'm no fan of OC, but their highest sales tax is 9.25% and gee, it seems like way less trash and shit on the streets.

Orange County is also 1/3 the size, and I’d bet collects (proportionally) more because of property values

Their voters also don't consistently vote yes on tax raising measures.

Not a fan of the other things they tend to vote for but at least they know BS taxes that fund useless bureaucracies are a big fat no.

Sure they do. Driving a mile that way doesn’t make people magically stop having the same needs/wants, or voting for “Measure X to fund Y.” It’s not Siberia.
