@drterrysimpson Government does not build houses. A Government can only put barriers or incentives on others to build housing. California Democrats have spent the last 60 years building barriers to housing and now we all face the consequences. Less Government is always the best solution.

Maybe now some of you will start listening to me.

As I've been saying for months:
- There was no way the top two Democrats would advance
- There was no way the two Republicans would both advance
- There was no way Xavier Becerra wasn't going to be the top Democrat pick

But also pay attention to this, the total percentage of Hilton and Bianco combined is 40%.

Becerra and Hilton well advanced to the general and Becerra will win 60-40.

It was a foregone conclusion before this even started.

Also remember, there is no Republican party. There's not really even a Democrat party. Just a Uniparty that owns the rights to the Elephant and the Donkey, and who holds periodic WWE cage matches we call "elections" so that we think we have a say in our government.

The city of #SanDiego has a history of losing money by rushing into poorly considered tax and fee increases.

Balboa Park paid parking decimated museum attendance and wasted funds installing and then removing meters.

Padding the trash collection fee resulted in a trail where the city was represented by outsourced attorneys.

A cannabis excise tax increase reduced sales and revenue (apparently, people will turn to less regulated markets to buy marijuana; who knew?)

And now, overly aggressive parking ticket enforcement has resulted in penalties totaling $millions.

Looking forward, Measure A (the ‘Empty Homes Tax’) promises even more legal costs and regulatory expenses for all residents.

$13.4 million.

That's what the proposed County budget spends on lawyers for illegal immigrants fighting deportation.

For that same amount, San Diego County could fund hundreds of sheriff's deputies. Dozens of psychiatric beds. Pothole repair across every district. Real help for the homeless veteran sleeping under the overpass tonight.

Instead, the Board majority wants to nearly triple a program that started at $5 million just three years ago. A program the County itself confirms has represented dozens of clients with criminal grounds in their case.

A county is not the State Department. A county is not an immigration court. A county exists to keep streets safe, roads paved, and the most vulnerable residents cared for.

This is not our job. It never was.

@NotWoke12404 @RichardPBailey_ The market will never rent below market rates. The beat you can hope for is the same price as elsewhere, but usually its more expensive. Affordable housing these days means the government pays most of the rent.

Everyone shouts "Tax the Rich"... but look at the facts.

A $150k earner pays around $30,600 in federal tax.

A $25k earner pays about $1,200.

It takes 25 people on $25k to contribute what one person on $150k does.

So why drive high earners out of the U.S. when they already shoulder most of the burden?

The problem isn't how much tax is collected.

The problem is how much the government wastes.

Stop blaming the rich.

Start holding the government to account.

This story calls out the many red flags of the proposed ‘Non-Primary Homes Tax’ / Measure A.

1. The legality of the tax is uncertain:
“Opponents of San Diego’s Measure A have said they’re likely to sue should it prevail. Councilmember Raul Campillo, who was the lone vote in opposing placing the tax on the ballot, says the measure is well-intentioned but believes that San Diego would not be on firm legal ground should it face a lawsuit, despite having had a robust legal team to help draft the measure.”

2. There is no fixed definition of an ‘empty home’. All homeowners would be at risk from an intrusive enforcement bureaucracy.

“San Diego’s calculation was reached by looking at the number of residential properties whose owners sought a second home/vacation home exemption from paying what’s known as the rental unit business tax because they do not use their properties as a primary residence or as a short- or long-term rental. Instead, they attest that they keep their non-primary homes uninhabited for more than 182 days out of the year.

When purchasing a residential property in the county, buyers can qualify for a homeowners’ exemption by declaring that the property is their primary home, which entitles them to a $70 tax savings.

It should be noted, though, that the text of the 27-page ballot measure is silent on the rental unit business tax, saying instead that ‘The City manager, or designee, shall enforce the provisions of this Division and may promulgate reasonable rules, regulations, interpretations, and guidelines to implement and enforce the provisions’ of the measure.”

3. Enforcement will be expensive.

“Still murky, though, is how the tax will be enforced, given that the ballot measure text leaves that relatively open-ended. According to the Independent Budget Analyst, the city treasurer’s office has said it may need four new staff members. Enforcement costs, it said, could reach $1 million or more.”

Housing is expensive in #SanDiego, but with new apartments under construction across the city, the impact of a tax that might force a few thousand units onto the market would be negligible.

Vote NO on Measure A.

@sdcta Dont forget that assuming this works, and history shows it doesn't, it becomes a government agency that has to be funded and bring zero income to support itself while actively pushing business out.

Tomi Lahren just named the exact reason Gavin Newsom is paying 50 cents per diaper when Target charges 16 cents

— the $20 million contract has to launder the money through his wife’s nonprofit network. Eric Daugherty surfaced the segment and Steve Hilton ran the math.

Newsom’s office announced $20 million of California taxpayer money to send 100,000 babies 400 diapers each at 50 cents per diaper.

The funds are going to a Los Angeles nonprofit called Baby2Baby. Baby2Baby’s co-CEO Norah Weinstein also sits on the board of California Partners Project, the nonprofit run by Jennifer Siebel Newsom, the First Lady of California.

Tomi Lahren explained: “They have to launder the money through the nonprofit that is not only filled with Newsom’s wife’s pals but Democrat donor pals and Hollywood elites. Anytime you see nonprofit, you should be very, very skeptical. If they really wanted to help out mothers, they would do it in the most cost-effective way possible. They would find a way to give vouchers or coupons. But they had to do it through Baby2Baby, through their friends and their pals and through co-CEO Norah Weinstein who also serves on the board of Jennifer Newsom’s California Partners Project.”

This is the modern Democrat fundraising ecosystem in one transaction. The state writes a $20 million check that goes to a nonprofit whose co-CEO sits on the First Lady’s separate nonprofit. Mothers end up with the same diapers they could have bought at Target — at roughly 3x the unit cost.

The other roughly $14 million of markup disappears into salaries, overhead, and the political-donor network that powers California Democrats. Tomi Lahren just laid out the entire Newsom grift in 90 seconds — and the math was Steve Hilton’s.

@W_M_Shelly @jeffcharlesjr I'd love to see a lawsuit against that Judge. Seems like saying "the constitution isn't applied in my court" would 100% fail a QI/JI check and make this a fun case.

@RBReich The government shouldn't be taking money and property from anyone and giving it to anyone. Thats not its purpose.
