    Right, in Seatle the companies started threatening to leave the city.

    CA sales tax is 7.25% now, so all they really need do is shift the decimal point. Bang, nails it.

    You have to understand this from a big city view, you have homeless all over the business district, begging, sleeping, blocking sidewalks, harrassing women and men, some getting violent attacking business owners and passerbys. The entire CITY suffers when that revenue from that district goes down.

    Let me ask you this, whats the difference being homeless on a busy NYC street or being homeless under a bridge. Clue: There is none. The problem isnt herding them out of certain districts the problem is THAT NO ONE REALLY GIVES A $#@! or tries to do anything about it, because just like theres no money for new Police Equipt there is no money for homeless because the Mayors have to buy re election giving away free $#@! and buying votes.
    They might consider moving into Mad Max's district....it is the poorest district in America

    San Francisco is about to allow illegals to register to vote, albeit only in school board elections. I can guarantee that will be extended to other elections as well.

    In California they fear "the big one" (earthquake) that will separate California from the rest of the continental U.S.. In fly over country we pray for it.
