> back when we did sf had a pretty aggressive additional payroll tax and gross receipts taxes

I always wonder what SF has done to deserve the added taxes? Did they keep the crime rate low? Did they keep improving the city's infra? Did they create a culture that people tolerate each other? Did they improve the quality of education? Did they improve the situation of the homeless community? Did they resolve the housing crisis?

Our forefathers fought for no representation no taxes. I don't know what representation I got in the city.
