There's literally too many tokens. It's beyond absurd and overwhelming at this point.
In 2018, San Francisco voters approved Prop C, the largest tax increase in city history. Its advocates claimed the measure — which levied a tax on businesses generating over $50 million in gross receipts and allocated those funds to homeless services — would make a clear impact on the city's homeless crisis. “When it comes to Prop C, you’re either for the homeless [or] you’re for yourself,” said Marc Benioff, the Salesforce CEO and “Yes on C” campaign’s largest financial benefactor. But data shows San Francisco’s homeless population has increased since the measure went into effect, and an audit this month determined the Department of Homelessness and Supportive Housing is failing to adequately track where its grant money goes. Meanwhile, the city’s tech industry has cratered — particularly fintech, which is disproportionately affected by Prop C’s tax mechanisms. Stripe, Block, PayPal, Coinbase, Credit Karma and others have left SF or significantly reduced their SF headcounts. Today for Pirate Wires, @metaversehell explains how San Francisco sacrificed its fintech ecosystem to “solve” homelessness. Read in on our site 👇
