How to Make Republicans Competitive

in San Francisco

By Jay Donde, San Francisco Briones Society

San Francisco is not well. Sixty-five thousand people left the city over the last three years, and 25 percent of those considering leaving cited crime as their primary reason. Meanwhile, the San Francisco Unified School District spends thousands more per public school student than the state average, yet has the worst racial achievement gap of any district in California. And though our municipal budget is 10 times larger than those of comparably sized major cities, we’re staring down a potential half-billion dollar fiscal hole developing over the next two years. 

In 2021, Bill Jackson and I co-founded the Briones Society with other like-minded members of the SFGOP Central Committee because we felt that, in order to change San Francisco’s trajectory, we needed to re-introduce competition into city politics.  . . .  read more

Every argument against Proposition 13 boils down to one thing: Control. They may mask it in buzzwords like “economic dynamism” and “equity,” but the reality is that they think they know how to spend your money and use your land better than you do.

California has the highest or near-highest tax rate in every category except property taxes, and even then the state is 14th in property tax collections per capita, according to the latest data from the Tax Foundation. . . .  read more
