Thank you for inviting me.

Well, you were the instigate.

So one of my staff members brought this to my attention and said, you got to hear this.

Oh, see here.

I love to hear the whole thrilling story.

The proposal was meant to be a conversation starter to force this issue.

So what my team came up with was to look at maybe a $4 proposal per square foot parcel tax.

which does not contradict the state's Prop 13 requirement.

It's a local city-based parcel tax.

And the goal of the $4 per square foot was to make it almost commensurate to what a 1% property tax valuation for best and highest use would have produced.

It depends.

Oh, if it was at $4, I don't even know if they would be able to pay.

They would shut down.

We did do polling because we wanted to not just make assumptions and understand that we actually have something that the public would feel strongly about.

And in our initial polling from a reputable pollster, we saw a 64% approval rating.

So it's pretty strong.

Again, these are all folks that are part of the fabric of the city.

So they understand that something like this would be seen as a populist issue and would garner quite a bit of support.

They understand that.

Yes.
