And if the voters turn it down, they’ll do it anyway, like they have time, and time, and time, and time again.
Voting means precisely nothing in California.

And a little look into the dark soul of statists: Its backers agreed that it would be better if the tax were not limited to San Francisco ... No where may be free. Control must be exerted everywhere and over everything.
The nanny staters strike again!
Will they tax some of those God forsaken bathhouses which are known to spread diseases????? That would be a positive move in taxing an activity which is detrimental to public health.
So that's what this is about, politicians stealing more of the people's money? I'll bet the dumbasses approve it.
They need a pee&poop in public tax. Especially for all of the crap we see coming from their politicians.
Quite seriously, our last visit, that was our “homeless” experience, watching them do their thing in front of a restaurant. Lovely memories...I think it was corn.

That is a lot of soda.
I love these desperate greedy cities. Many have various taxes on everything. Philadelphia, for example, has a poured drink tax. Then the extra 1% sales tax. And the huge wage tax. Now they want a two dollar a pack cigarette tax.
So? Everyone that has more than a few dollars lives outside the city limits, shops outside the limits, and most businesses are moving to the suburbs. Have been for decades. So, tax revenue falls and they need new taxes....

If this passes, then all it’s going to do is foster a new soda smuggling industry, benefiting organized soda cartels and the surrounding communities where soda can be purchased in bulk tax-free and smuggled into San Fran in car trunks.
Next will be checkpoints to scrutinize all vehicles entering SF. When that fails to work, there will be a hue and outcry that the tax should be imposed on their neighbors whose lack of soda taxation is clearly the real cause of the all the soda crime in SF.
In the mean time, SF will assure that the underprivileged and the “underserved” will receive free pot, you know, to assure “economic justice”. And not just free Mexican Brick Weed either, but the good stuff like Purple Kush and the like.
Hahahaha, taxing soda by the ounce, haaaaahahaha sucker every min.
