The
SF Board of Supervisors is placing an interesting ballot initiative on
the November ballot. This would, if passed, levy a "fairness tax" on
companies whose CEOs earn more than 100 times the average wage of the
average grunt at their corporation. The tax would be 0.01% of the gross
receipts of any company with a gross income of more than $1.7 million.
It is expected this would bring in at least $60 million and maybe as
much as $160 million a year which the city plans to spend to attract
more homeless bums, winos and criminals to the city.
Then
we get to the Prisoners of Larch St. There is a semi-permanent tent
city of criminals behind their homes and apartment buildings. These
tents make it almost impossible, and at times actually impossible, for
residents to get their vehicles in and out of their garages, most of
which open into the alley and not onto the street. Many of the locals
are elderly and need access to their vehicles for shopping, medical
appointments and other important shit.
The
property owners are filing suit next week to COMPEL the city to break
up and move out the homeless encampment, which the city enables with
city paid porta-potties and semi-permanent homeless outreach advocates.
The homeless tenants seem to have one regular job, bicycle thievery.
They have access to power tools to cut high security bicycle locks.
They do it so regularly that the sound has become a significant quality
of life issue for the actual paying tenants. That along with the
regular fighting, shouting, dogs barking and other accompanying
bullshit.
