DESCRIPTION:Community Town Hall\non\nSan Francisco real estate\n\nw/ Supervisor David 
 Campos\n\n\nDear Commoneer,\n\n     Come join other Commoneers in 
 advocating for a "Benefit Assessment" district version of Land Value Tax 
 for San Francisco!\n \nIt’s all about who owns the value of land. 
 Builders deserve full compensation for their labor. The building materials 
 sellers deserve full compensation for their materials. So if real estate 
 prices are too high in San Francisco, who should take the rap? Should we 
 blame the builders? Blame the lumber yards?\n\nHow about the high price of 
 land in San Francisco? Where did that come from? Did the maker of land 
 (!!!???) make it? Did the owner of land cause the bump-up in the price of 
 “location, location, location?”\n\nThink about it. The price of land is 
 the result of the growth of population and the income of that population. 
 In short, the price of San Francisco land is the result of the growth of 
 community.\n\nThe logical, ethical, economically sound thing to do is 
 RETURN LAND VALUE TO THE COMMUNITY.\n\n\n9TH District Supervisor David 
 Campos is going to be present at the Monday, October 28  Town Hall meeting 
 on San Francisco real estate\n\n\nsponsored by SF Alliance of Californians 
 for Community Empowerment (ACCE), Bernal Heights Neighborhood Center and 
 San Francisco Tenants Union. For more info, call 415-335-7033 or email 
 sfacce@calorganize.org\n\n \n\nBut we're The Commons SF, San Francisco’s 
 grassroots organization committed to returning land values to the 
 community, and though we will listen to true stories of banksterism, and 
 listen to models for cross-subsidizing the poor or unlucky, we're advocates 
 of fundamentally putting things right, in ways that pre-empt poverty and 
 neutralize being unlucky.\n\n \n\nPressure Supervisor Campos to implement a 
 land use fee equivalent to the annual rent of “location, location, 
 location.” This will kill land speculation, fully fund the city, and 
 enable the elimination of the Sales Tax, the Property Tax on buildings, 
 Business Taxes, and the SF residents ‘State Income Taxes. It will also 
 reduce future mortgages by half.\n\n     OR\n                You can call 
 for cross subsidies that cost builders full compensation, lumber yards full 
 compensation, and which only slightly dampen land values, which are the 
 actual cause of San Francisco’s high real estate prices. Subsidize or end 
 land speculation.\n\nCheck out  http://www.TheCommonsSF.org\n\n
