In National City, CA, the sales tax rate is 9.75%. Here lies the most well-stocked, popular mall in the immediate area, “Plaza Bonita,” which was recently “remodeled” by Weisfield with many amenities previously unknown to this crowd. What are we going to do? Drive 16-18 mi. to MV/FV?? There’s a captive audience fueling the coffers of this tiny city, more than half of it south of the US/MX border. It has a recently-built 3-story parking garage but try to find a parking space on Fri Night/wknds (when the AMC movies are full). Before the major remodel, it was a partially boarded up ghost town . . . lol.
