San Francisco, Measure A: Earthquake Safety and Emergency Bond
To improve fire, earthquake, and emergency response by retrofitting, improving, expanding, constructing, and/or replacing: deteriorating pipes, tunnels, and related facilities to ensure firefighters can access enough water to fight fires from a major disaster or emergency; unsafe or deteriorating emergency response facilities, including neighborhood fire stations, critical transportation facilities, and public safety facilities; and to pay related costs, shall the City and County of San Francisco's issuance of $535,000,000 in general obligation bonds be adopted, with a duration up to 30 years from the time of issuance, an estimated average tax rate of $7.45/$100,000 of assessed property value, and estimated average annual revenues of $35,900,000, subject to independent citizen oversight and regular audits? The City's current debt management policy is to keep the property tax rate for City general obligation bonds below the 2006 tax rate by issuing new bonds as older ones are retired and the tax base grows, though this property tax rate may vary based on other factors.

After the 1906 earthquake, San Francisco burned down because the water pipes broke and firefighters couldn't put out the fires. This bond fixes those old pipes and makes sure we have water to fight fires after the next big quake. That keeps our homes and jobs safe, which is the most important thing for working people.
(17 votes)
con
This proposal will make taxes go up. It asks to issue $535 million in bonds, which will cost property owners an extra $7.45 for every $100,000 of their property's value. New taxes take more money out of our pockets, and that's not good for anyone.

pro
This proposal makes sure our fire department has enough water after a big earthquake. In 1906, the lack of water led to terrible fires that destroyed much of San Francisco, causing great suffering and loss of life. We are called to protect human life and care for our neighbors, and this bond helps us do that by fixing our city's vital emergency systems.

This bond protects my valuable property by funding critical upgrades to our city's firefighting water system. In the 1906 earthquake, fires destroyed 80% of San Francisco's property value because there wasn't enough water to fight them. This bond helps prevent that from happening again, keeping our city and our investments safe.

This bond is absolutely necessary for San Francisco. We all remember how the 1906 earthquake turned into a disaster because the water system failed, letting fires burn down most of the city. Experts say there's a really high chance, about 72%, of another big earthquake hitting us in the next 20 years. This money will make sure our firefighters have enough water and our emergency buildings won't fall down, which is the most important thing for keeping our community safe when the next big one comes.

This bond makes San Francisco stronger against earthquakes and other emergencies. This is important because natural disasters make it much harder for people to get essential reproductive healthcare.

This proposal is about making our city safe, plain and simple. San Francisco sits on earthquake faults, and history shows us that big quakes cause huge fires because water pipes break. After the 1906 earthquake, 80% of the city burned down, not from the shaking, but because firefighters had no water. This bond will fix our old pipes and emergency buildings so we can fight fires and keep everyone safe when the next big one hits. Protecting lives and property is the most important thing for our community's future.

This bond fixes and upgrades San Francisco's emergency response systems, like water pipes for firefighters and local fire stations. When a big earthquake hits, many people will get hurt. Research on a major Bay Area earthquake shows that problems with transportation and water systems can make it very hard to get people to hospitals, leading to worse health for our community. By making our emergency infrastructure stronger, this bond helps us respond faster after a disaster, which directly saves lives and protects everyone's health.

I'm voting yes because this bond makes our city safer for everyone when a big earthquake or fire hits. Our emergency water system, with those old pipes, needs fixing so firefighters can get water fast. If they can't, fires spread, and that can really hurt our neighborhoods, making it harder for people to rebuild their lives. Keeping our public safety strong protects all of us and helps our community bounce back quicker. Our city's auxiliary water system, which firefighters depend on, doesn't even reach big parts of the west side of San Francisco.

This is super important because small businesses create jobs and keep our neighborhoods unique.

This proposal helps our local small businesses by cutting their taxes. When these businesses keep more of their earnings, they can invest in their operations, expand, and hire more people. This is important because lower small business tax burdens increase retained earnings, which then drives productivity, innovation, and quality job creation in our neighborhoods, making San Francisco's economy stronger for everyone.

This measure makes San Francisco more fair by increasing taxes on big companies that pay their top executives over 100 times more than their regular workers.

I am voting for this because it supports our local small businesses, which are vital for San Francisco. The plan exempts about 800 more businesses with up to $7.5 million in sales from certain city taxes.

This plan aims to make things fairer by taxing big companies more when their top bosses earn way, way more than their workers, and by giving tax breaks to smaller businesses.

Justice in how money is shared is a basic need for a healthy community.

San Francisco, Measure D: Changes to Top Executive Pay Tax Initiative
Shall the City permanently change the top executive pay tax it collects from some large businesses when their highest-paid managerial employee earns more than 100 times the median compensation paid to their San Francisco employees, by changing the tax to be calculated using the compensation of all employees, not just those based in San Francisco, and shall the City increase the top executive pay tax rates for these businesses to either between 0.183% and 1.121% of their gross receipts or between 0.75% and 4.47% of their payroll expense in San Francisco, for an estimated annual revenue increase of $250-$300 million?

This proposal makes sure big companies pay their fair share when their top bosses make vastly more money than their regular workers.

This plan increases taxes on businesses based on what they pay their top executive compared to other workers.

This proposal will make large companies pay more taxes if their top executives earn significantly more than their average workers. This change is expected to bring in an extra $250 million to $300 million each year for our city. This money is crucial because San Francisco is facing a major housing crisis, where housing costs have risen much faster than inflation, and we need substantial funds for affordable housing. It's about economic fairness, ensuring that businesses with extreme pay gaps contribute more to help fix our city's pressing problems, like the lack of affordable homes for everyone.

This tax increase makes San Francisco too expensive for businesses. Our city already has much higher business taxes than other places, and many companies have already left because of it. Raising taxes even more will just push more businesses and jobs out, which hurts our city's long-term economic health and the opportunities for everyone who lives here. The city's chief economist estimates this measure alone could lead to hundreds of job losses and a big drop in the city's economy.

This proposal to increase the top executive pay tax and change how it's calculated is a bad idea for our city's economy.

I support this proposal because it helps fix the huge gap between what top executives earn and what regular workers make, and the extra tax money can fund important city services. It's about fairness and making sure wealthy companies contribute more when their top earners are making hundreds of times more than their average employees. For instance, in 2024, CEOs at major U.S. companies made 281 times more than typical workers. This tax helps address that imbalance and provides much-needed funds for our city.
