October 2, 2025Can someone explain why it feels like there's less resources in Oakland than in SF even though our sales tax is one of the highest in the state?
We don’t have much retail. And fewer large employers to pay business taxes . Sales tax and parcel taxes are the only revenue streams. Oakland has very limited revenue streams: few hotels. Few large employers. Lots of retail leakage. More on reddit.com

March 2, 2025Sales tax?
It’s a great question and sadly one that we can not easily find an answer for. All I was able to dig was measure W, which was an alameda county sales tax hike if 0.5% that adds money to the general fund with the intention of helping with housing.
Every election there are a ton of county and city measures that impact parcel taxes and sales taxes. Because there are so many, it is easy for us to forget what they were for. So, as a result we see a 10.25% sales tax and we don’t know what for.
That is a shame in my opinion. That is government without accountability. I don’t mind paying for services and a strong safety net. But I also don’t like not knowing where my money is going and some transparency would be much appreciated.

Oakland city administration and senior management will always turn to raising taxes on the public before cutting their own pay or facing budget accountability. City staff is super top heavy and duplicative; mismanagement is rampant; but they all reinforce/protect each other. Then they cut staff and act surprised when the public hates the quality of services they get.
