PB – Special assessment tax and outsourcing police

[pbnative]

Little Italy is the wrong example to use. LI is charming, where PB has been aptly called a ‘sh*t hole.’ I was born here and it’s home for me, but Garnet has way too many bars, tatoo/piercing shops, and resale stores. A few of each would be nice, but they just keep coming. Restaurants like the Belgian Fries place has to beg and plead to be able to serve Belgian beer (don’t know if they finally can), while crappy bars line Garnet. A good hole-in-the-wall bar is key for any neighborhood (Tiki Hut and $2 pints of Guiness!), but we don’t need 35 of them. The businesses that are creating this need while profiting should pay to clean up after themselves. If Garnet were a charming place to stroll, grab some munchies and enjoy a cocktail, I’d pony up my coin with a happy little smile. (Although I already pay $6,300 a year in prop taxes, seems like they could do something with that.)

-“The votes of owners who would be levied the largest assessments would be weighed more than those cast by people paying lesser amounts. For that reason, business owners would likely have more influence on the outcome of the vote than residential property owners.”

Democracy in action. Everyone is equal, some of us are just MORE equal than others.

From a poster on the UT:

Pacific Beach Business Improvement Association, which already gets business-member-only tax dollars from its Business Improvement District (BID) members. DiscoverPB’s stated mission in its legal financial filings is to “promote and support businesses.

Can’t the alcohol tax cover this, since the crimes are alcohol related.

There are so many ways to come up w/money for this and the burden should not be on homeowners. I’m pissed.

Also posted on UT:

According to Luis Ojeda in the Economic Development department, lord overseer of BID-enforced MADs, property revenues are UP, thus the special assessments funds are UP, because of late-payment fees
