I read a comment like this and I ask what the heck I'm paying taxes for? I'm getting ripped in both state and federal taxes. If the cities aren't getting their fair share of the money then they should take it up with he state, because somebody is sure getting paid!
- bagels 10y agoIt's infuriating. Higher salaries = higher taxes. Tech is already paying more than its fair share of taxes. These same politicians are trying to blame tech success as the sole cause of high housing costs, ignoring their own failures to deal with poor regional transportation and the regulatory impossibility of building enough housing.

- Decade 10y agoI suppose there would be: San Francisco Housing Action Coalition http://www.sfhac.org/ http://www.sfhac.org/ San Francisco Planning and Urban Research Association http://www.spur.org http://www.spur.org And there are smaller efforts such as: GrowSF http://www.growsanfrancisco.org http://www.growsanfrancisco.org SF Bay Area Renters’ Federation http://www.sfbarf.org http://www.sfbarf.org
