Ok, I'll bite. Why shouldn't someone who rents their home be able to vote?

That sounds good, at least on the surface, however having been a landlord I would pass on increases in my taxes to my tenants. Maybe not immediately, but eventually the tax finds it's way into the the rent.Ok, I'll bite. Why shouldn't someone who rents their home be able to vote?
Speaking for myself and where i live.
Renters should NOT be allowed to vote on anything that increases property taxes. UNLESS whatever is voted upon is taxed onto each rent that is charged. So for example, if a new tax is $10 a month per property should it is also added onto each and every rent as well.

the free market takes care of that imo.
the landlord will raise their rent in most cases, unless restricted by some other legal means....
in some states, renters can take a deduction on their taxes, on a portion of their rent attributed to property taxes....
It is assumed the owner's property tax is included in rent prices, as it should be...again, imo.

No, i am not saying add it into the rent. I am saying adding it on top of the rent. We have rent control in SF you cant add anything into a rent.

In SF you cant raise rents to cover any costs.
For and example. If you have a 4 unit building and the tax is $10. I would want each and every renter paying $10, not splitting the tax between the units.

why would you discriminate against them and why would you want the district government to get more in taxes than the $10 dollars due?

If renters vote for a tax then they should have to pay for it just like everyone else does.
Adding a tax on top of rent in my opinion is fair. Rent is high to begin with, so are mortgages. If renters feel the effect of what they are voting on, they may feel differently about voting for things if they to will actually have to pay for.

then maybe i have misunderstood you? i thought you said if the landlord's tax is $10 for a 4 unit building, you want the 4 renters to pay $10 each, which equals $40??? That's $30 bucks more than what is due???
