San Francisco should not do this. Instead, they should enact a city tax, much like New York City. Anyone that lives within the city should pay an extra tax.

Now, this assumes they have to do this in the first place. The easiser / cheaper thing to do would be to elimiate the social safety net that lets the problem fester.
- seibelj 10y agoA city tax makes far more sense than saying, "Anyone who works for a company in industry XYZ pays more taxes because we hate your entire business category". I have no comment or opinion about your "social safety net" idea. What kind of signal does this send to tech companies? Also, see the failed Massachusetts tech tax that caused lots of controversy before being repealed [0] [0] http://readwrite.com/2013/09/27/massachusetts-tech-tax-repealed/ http://readwrite.com/2013/09/27/massachusetts-tech-tax-repea...
