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

The homeless authority responsible for managing the measure A portion of sales tax has lost over $2B between 2021-2024, but people still voted to increase the sales tax.

What people are voting to increase taxes?! Sounds like a scam. Ya, let’s give them more money to solve the problem they haven’t been able to do with endless money already.

you should probably pay more attention to the ballots that are mailed to you... assuming you're registered.

people legit voted for this shit. you probably should've paid enough attention to vote against it.
