SF Proposes Parcel Tax to Save Muni

San Francisco City Officials Propose Parcel Tax to Save Muni Service
San Francisco city officials have finalized a parcel tax plan to save Muni bus and train service from significant cuts. The proposal, which will be put to a vote in November, would see most single-family homeowners pay at least $129 annually, with higher fees for larger properties or multifamily buildings. The tax aims to address a $300 million deficit at the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency, caused by pandemic-related drops in ridership and the end of state and federal relief money. While residents have expressed concerns about the burden on renters, the plan has been adjusted to cap charges for rent-controlled units at $65 per year. The tax would also apply to non-residential properties, with fees ranging from $129 to $799 depending on the property size. The next steps include drafting ballot language and gathering signatures for the vote, with additional funding sources still needed to close the gap. Checkout Solipillow.com
