Santa Monica is already one of the highest taxed cities in the United States.
Santa Monica has a budget surplus of $11 million and the state has a budget surplus of $49 billion -- money that could already go towards housing.
- Measures GS and DT will have a disproportionate effect on seniors who have lived in Santa Monica for decades and are looking to sell their homes for retirement.
- While one measure will create a brand new layer of bureaucracy by creating a new 11-member advisory board, the other measure deposits these new taxes directly into the City's General Fund for unrestricted use by the City Council.
- Measure GS will never end. Eventually, almost every small business owner and multi-family apartment building will be forced to pay this extremely large tax increase.
