That's not how this works broseph.
I can choose the type of truck or vehicle. I can choose the amount of which I drive it. The vehicle cannot pass bonds or taxes when it wants to upgrade its stereo system.
I can fire the truck and replace it at will.
Get out of here with that bull****
I'm pretty sure passing bonds is done in an election where the voters who are affected get to say yes or no. But maybe I don't understand how the process works.
Wrong if you are over 65. They get to vote for the increase in taxes, theirs are frozen at whatever year they turned 65. I don't think that is a bad thing to freeze the taxes, IMO we should abolish property taxes, but I also think you shouldn't be able to vote for that **** when you literally have no skin in the game.
I say this because I have seen my own school district actively campaign on this BS. The PO of my home was over 65 and I'd get pro bond mailers addressed to her essentially saying, "vote yes because your taxes are frozen".
Same with renters, the "experts" will say they are affected by tax increases because the landlord will raise rent due to taxes, maybe on SF rental, but that's BS on any kind of large project due them probably to be able to negotiate tax exemptions in order to be enticed to build the apartments in the first place. If there is any increase there is no case and effect relatable by the renter. It could take years or the rent goes up every year anyway due to market.
Something you purchase shouldn't include a "rent increase" year after year until you reach 65.
