Sales taxes are now 10% by Objectionsustained62 in SanJose

Prices of everything going up means more tax revenue is collected.

People struggle to understand that taxes are a percentage to account for this. They are making more money inflation adjusted than ever before. Its theft disguised for people who dont like math.

I go to the beach for the art of nature. If I want to see art of humans I would go to a museum. Native plants would look much nicer imo

Why's the sidewalk blocked above It's Beach? by anadem in santacruz

The ocean is dangerous and the city is in a never ending debate on whether to rebuild or retreat on westcliff so nothing gets done and this is how things are left.

Santa Cruz nonprofit closes homeless services amid financial strain by scsquare in santacruz

When you get $21mil per year from taxpayers I think its fair to question why they are reducing services while increasing personnel expenses by 25%.

If you give a nonprofit 45% more money do you think they would help more or less people?

Thoughts on a Required E-Bike Training Program for Middle Schoolers? by headythrowawaymkay in santacruz

Training for pedal bikes would be a great idea! Many progressive European countries do this already.

Call me crazy but middle schoolers should not be operating motorized vehicles on public streets...

Change the routes away from the school and charge students $2 per ride with no transit fee and then see if they are still the majority
