And once the 'hard times' are over and the economy returns to normal, the ~~toll~~ tax increase will be dropped.... right ?

#3 I just had an idea for designing a perfect society - every elected politician required to work two years on sheep farm before assuming office.

#4 "affordable housing" "social and emotional learning"... Nashville's success story is at the beginning of the end if mayors such as this continue to fester (read: get elected).

#5 Tough to have 'affordable housing' when you're jacking up taxes that much. Of course the irony escapes him.

The real money is not in "affordable housing" or rentals. The real money is in gentrification.

#7 g(r)omgoru they already do. That's where they learn how to fleece the people.

#8 ^To learn you can't fleece the sheep too often.

#9 Socialists always fleece too much. They kill the golden geese too.

#10 Raj makes the all too obvious point that politicians somehow always fail to notice.

#11 Property tax gets passed to the renters as rate increases, property owner writes off the deduction.

Win, win.

#12 property owner writes off the deduction.

The past two years I haven't been able to do that. I have to take the "standard deduction". It's a good thing California still has Proposition 13 but I'm sure Newsom is looking for ways around it.
