If you can't be honest with yourself that Breed, Wiener, and Chiu kept at least 4% of voters from voting for Prop C, I don't know what to tell you. If they'd kept their mouths shut, Prop C wouldn't be held up in court right now. This money would be available YEARS sooner.https://twitter.com/MattHaneySF/status/1129410957195632641 …
but from her perspective (and she had only gotten elected into office like literally around the same time the signatures were gathered), many departmental needs could've been considered w/ that revenue source.

What are Wiener and Chiu’s excuses then?

they were probably following her lead. I don't know what she offered in return.

it's not like she was proposing a *different* gross receipts tax to meet *other* needs. she wasn't. this was the only new revenue source

it will just be more politically difficult for her going forward to negotiate business tax changes or changes in allocations, if that turns out to be necessary, in say, a downturn or if other critical financing needs emerge in other areas.

i have no idea why that would be true, since the net revenues absent the gross receipts tax are unchanged. i guess you're saying: the city might someday need a gross receipts tax to meet some other, more urgent need than, uh... people living unhoused on the streets. i guess
