“This will benefit the whole community. While our school has been well maintained since being built in 2017, aging classrooms and facilities are showing the wear and tear of constant use and are very expensive to repair. A local school improvement measure would allow the district to improve the quality of the school’s facilities and the educational programs provided to local students.”

No Argument

“Endless rounds of bond sales by school districts are not the answer to improving education. Government bonds should not be used to pay for school buildings, because government should not be building and running schools. Private alternatives, including home schooling, can do a better job for our children, at lower average cost.”

Race to Watch

East Palo Alto, Measure JJ

Should East Palo Alto impose a 2.5% gross receipts tax on certain rental properties to fund rental assistance, prevent displacement and homelessness, and cover administrative costs?

East Palo Alto. Rental assistance. Passes with majority vote.

Yes76.5%
3,328 votes
No23.4%
1,022 votes
Updated at 7:42 PM PT on Nov 11, 2024
San Mateo County

Measure JJ proposes reallocating the 2.5% tax on gross receipts for certain rental properties to specifically fund affordable homeownership opportunities and preserve existing affordable housing. This existing tax, which cannot be passed onto tenants, is expected to generate about $1.45 million annually. It would not apply to landlords who demonstrate financial hardship, apartment units rented to people with federal rental assistance vouchers, rooms rented in single-family homes, accessory dwelling units and newly built rental properties for the first three years.

Yes Argument

East Palo Alto median rents have increased nearly 30% in the past two years, exacerbating a housing affordability crisis marked by displacement, homelessness, gentrification and evictions. Measure JJ will yield $1.45 million annually, funding initiatives such as temporary rental assistance to protect residents from displacement and homelessness. It also prohibits landlords from passing the tax onto tenants, who have already shouldered the burden of rising rents.

No25.1%

San Mateo County

Yes Argument

“Seventeen of the 20 cities in San Mateo County already have an appointed city treasurer. Currently, San Carlos holds an election for the city treasurer every four years, spending taxpayer funds on an elected position that only requires a candidate to be 18 years old and a registered voter. This allows potentially inexperienced candidates to become city treasurer.”

No Argument

“While it’s tempting to argue certain financial qualifications should be required, those benefits are outweighed by maintaining direct citizen oversight. The state of California treasurer likewise requires no such qualifications and is elected directly by the citizens. The fact that other peninsula cities have already converted to an appointed treasurer is not a reason for us to follow suit.”

Pacifica, Measure M

Yes Argument

“Yes on M is 100% paid by visitors, tourists and other nonresidents who come to Pacifica. Yes on M is not a tax on Pacifica residents of property owners. Every penny of Yes on M will be spent on services that benefit residents and visitors, including maintaining what makes our city unique like Pacifica’s parks, beaches, coastlines and trails.”

No Argument

“Visitors often compare accommodation costs when planning their travels, and a higher TOT can deter potential guests from choosing our city. This can result in decreased occupancy rates for local hotels and short-term rentals, ultimately reducing the overall revenue these businesses generate. Secondly, the hospitality industry is still recovering from the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many hotels and short-term rental operators are working hard to rebuild their businesses and regain financial stability.”

“The state does not provide adequate funding for facility updates at our schools without a local funding source like Measure P … Even if you don’t have school-age children, supporting quality education is a wise investment. Excellent schools improve the quality of life in our community and protect the value of our homes.”

No Argument

“Endless rounds of bond sales by school districts are not the answer to improving education.

“For Half Moon Bay, total public safety costs (our largest expenditure) increased approximately 51% heading into the current fiscal year.

Race to Watch

City of San Mateo, Measure T

Should the city of San Mateo allow taller buildings to be constructed in the downtown area, near Caltrain stations and along transit corridors including El Camino Real?

Yes58.9%

No41%
15,056 votes
Updated at 7:42 PM PT on Nov 11, 2024
San Mateo County

The city of San Mateo currently restricts building heights to seven stories or 75 feet tall citywide. Voters have approved initiatives in the past, including Measure Y in 2020, which restricted building heights and density. Measure T would amend those rules to allow buildings to be eight stories tall in certain areas, including downtown San Mateo, near CalTrans stations, and along busy thoroughfares such as El Camino Real and Highway 101.

Yes Argument

San Mateo is an expensive city to live in and longtime residents, seniors and younger residents are being pushed out. Measure T will add housing near transit hubs, shopping areas, and busy corridors, which could promote economic growth and transit use. It will create jobs and support downtown small businesses, without raising taxes.

No Argument

Measure T removes protections voters have approved previously. The potential growth from this initiative could strain existing infrastructure and services, possibly leading to higher taxes, fees and bonds. The city’s current height restrictions have still supported a vibrant downtown and more housing near transit hubs.
