Well, the grand plan to drive out smaller property owners so Newsom’s big developer friends can buy up downtown San Francisco and Los Angeles cheap seems to be progressing well.

What if there is a lack of poop outside. Does one have to pay any additional tax?

Oh, this is great. Punish landlords if, for one reason or another, they are not able to rent out space.
I wonder what’s next for San Francisco. Maybe they could fine businesses that do not sell enough stuff. After all, those businesses are cheating the government out of sales tax money. They too must be punished.

Who pays it, theres no one residing in the building.
The building owner has no money as theres no tenants.
Can’t get blood from a govt-created turnip.
SF local govt lets the city go to hell, businesses leave because of the govt, and they think the solution is taxing vacated buildings they created. Amazing how the socialist libtard mind processes things.

LOL...so you can’t make a financial go of a retail space and vacate it. Then you get taxed on the vacant space that is generating zero revenue.
Never let it be said the best and brightest go into government.

I doubt those buildings are owned free and clear. That means the SF tax will make the commercial debt problem worse. If the owners walk away from the building mortgages, the ownership shifts to the banks. With this vacancy tax in place, no one would even consider buying the building for $1. The banks are stuck with the tax. Another cut in the sea of fiscal cuts.
Glad I don't live in California.
