San Francisco could tax the rich-locally-and avoid brutal cuts to city services. Here's how - 48 hills

San Francisco can fund needed jobs and services by taxing the wealthy through progressive income or wealth taxes rather than claiming there is no money.

S.F. public health dept. has to cut $17 million. No one is happy.

Not UCSF (potentially out $5.8 million). Definitely not Livable City (quite possibly dropped from the public health budget entirely). And definitely not the health commissioners. "There is really no joy in any of the decisions that we've been trying to make,"said Department of Public Health Director Daniel Tsai to the nearly 100 people who came to make a case for reinstating their funding. "And sometimes it's a question of what is the least difficult or least harmful decision to make."
