The Golden Gate City is following through with its promise to present a plan for Black reparations, and is confirming the rumors we had heard earlier:<\/p>\n
Payments of $5 million to every eligible Black adult, the elimination of personal debt and tax burdens, guaranteed annual incomes of at least $97,000 for 250 years and homes in San Francisco for just $1 a family.<\/p>\n
These are just some of the recommendations made by a city-appointed reparations committee…<\/p>\n
A first hearing before the city\u2019s Board of Supervisors on Tuesday could offer a glimpse of the board\u2019s appetite for advancing a reparations plan that would be unmatched nationwide in specificity and breadth. Critics have slammed it as financially and politically impossible. One conservative analyst estimated that each non-Black family in the city would have to pay at least $600,000.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Yeah, that’s going to fly. As is, that is one of the most expensive housing markets in the country and many people there work multiple jobs to afford housing. Go ahead, hit them with a $600K bonus charge. See how successful you are. We’ll come by and visit the former city in a few years – when it looks like they are filming “The Omega Man” there.<\/p>\n
Fewer than 50,000 Black people still live in San Francisco, and it\u2019s not clear how many would be eligible. Possible criteria include having lived in the city during certain time periods and descending from someone \u201cincarcerated for the failed War on Drugs.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
