An opinion - have a one bedroom but no bed. Have a roof and air conditioning and heat - but who will pay for the that? SAVE MONEY TO "HOUSE THEM" But don't some dogs have better accommodations?
hWWRT COM LA COUNTY MILLIONAIRE TAX
Excerpt
Los Angeles County has one of the highest homeless populations, but the County Board of Supervisors has a bold plan to fight it: an income tax of half of a percent on personal incomes exceeding $1 million, which would generate an estimated $243 million.
In an effort to address the growing homeless problem plaguing Los Angeles County, the county government is seeking approval from both Governor Jerry Brown and the state legislature to levy a tax on its millionaires. Seventy-six percent of LA County residents are in favor of the tax, according to a Los Angeles County Homelessness Survey.
THE GUARDIAN on San Francisco tax on TECH proposed
EXCERPT
San Francisco’s long, complex and often fraught relationship with the tech industry has come to a head with a proposal to levy a “tech tax” on the companies that have fueled the city’s transformation into a place that is increasingly uninhabitable for people on low or medium incomes.
Under the plan, large tech employers in the city, potentially including Google, Twitter, Uber, Airbnb and Salesforce, would be required to pay a 1.5% payroll tax. The estimated $120m in annual revenue would be used to fund affordable housing and services for the city’s large homeless population.
Local politicians are seeking to put the bill to a citywide vote in November, a move that would mark the culmination of years of boom that have rendered San Francisco one of the most unequal places in the U.
It is a city where 57.4% of homes are worth more than $1m, but hundreds of people sleep in tents on the street every night.
