“City Visions: Sifting Through the Pros and Cons of Prop G”
Host David Onek and guests dive into one of this election's most contentious ballot measures: Proposition G. Known as an "anti-speculation" tax, Prop G has ardent support and robust opposition, reflecting ongoing tension about the high cost of housing in San Francisco.
Would Prop G make San Francisco housing more affordable?
Is it an effective deterrent to real estate speculation, or is it just a major new tax on property owners?
Guests:
Peter Cohen - Co-director of the San Francisco Council of Community Housing Organizations; former policy director at East Bay Housing Organizations.
Jay Cheng- Director of Public Affairs, the San Francisco Association of Realtors
Larry A. Rosenthal, JD PhD - Assistant Adjunct Professor at the Goldman School of Public Policy at the University of California, Berkeley.
