Vote no on Measure 118
As a property developer and business owner, I strongly oppose Measure 118 due to its negative impact on the economy, housing and construction costs.
This measure imposes a 3% tax on sales that will inevitably raise prices at every stage of development, from acquiring materials to final construction. These increased costs will ultimately be passed on to consumers, leading to higher prices for homes and rental properties.
This comes at a time when affordable housing is already a major concern, not only in our community but across the state. Measure 118 will make it even harder for developers to build homes and our local families to afford them.
For the sake of economic growth and affordability, please vote NO on Measure 118.
