SB City Council is squeezing the middle & low income.

First the Council agreed to rent control. Which has always failed.

But they voted to increase every tenant’s rent up to 10% every year. They just made renting more expense ever the masses who have been long term rentals.

Previously landlords did not bump up rent every year and they did not bump it by 10%.

SB City Council agreed to put a half cent sales tax increase on the ballot. It will raise an estimated $15,000,000. Don’t celebrate.

City is close to $12,000,000 in debt.

That extra tax goes to paying down debt.

It does not go to housing like Sneddon stated.

That is an increase tax of about $600 per household.

So they voted to increase your rent & your taxes on top of record high inflation & increasing interest rates.

While they misappropriate tax dollars on non revenue generating expenses like the State Street underpass which will cost well above $7,000,000.

Fiscally irresponsible.
