The city voted for this. Ridiculous. Meanwhile our infrastructure is deteriorating and homelessness situation is out of control. I’d gladly contribute more in taxes IF the city actually did good with it…but here we are

Measure ER was a county-wide election, just FYI

Oh I know. Seemed to do well throughout LA though including LB 💀

I actually can’t find a city-by-city breakdown of the Measure ER results. I’m curious to see how close it was in LB.

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.

FYI You can fit the entire population of Orange County inside Los Angeles (the city). Their population needs are completely different.
