What kind of jobs are they providing? The place is open for a few hours a week and I can't imagine there's a lot of salaried employees there.

Would be great but that’s just not going to happen. The deal is that we provide the park and the team provides the jobs and economic benefits. The Giants/squirrels will go to the next best city in a heartbeat of we don’t keep up our end of the bargain

Dang! Which neighborhood. We went up 20% last year and another 15% this year and we’re far west end near Hanover. I’d call the county and ask for another assessment.

Just the owner of the SF Giants is worth $6.1B. If he financed the stadium all on his own he'd still be worth $6.1B. It's the equivalent of someone with $10k in the bank spending $5.75ish.

The City has known about these deficiencies in the facility for years. Why would they not stagger the renovations over those years in order to stay on compliance with the league, and reduce the upfront costs? Diamond District redevelopment was clearly going to take a long time, why not keep the league happy in the mean time

It’s a multibillion dollar project that will completely transform a sizable chunk of the city for generations and you “despise how much combined effort that stupid diamond sucks up from public discourse” … ? Do you know the whole project is so much more than just the Diamond but it totally hinges on there actually being a new Diamond? Why do you think this shouldn’t be discussed at length?

It's not, but the tax rate, assessments, and whether or not they provide relief on the increases are.

Rusty Taco used to turn out halfway decent gringo chain tacos when they first opened but holy shit it is inedible now. Avoid at all costs.

That’s not really how it works. There is some revenue sharing within the league, but that mainly goes to player’s salaries. It’s more helpful to think of each team as its own franchise. They control their own facility and its operations.

They should give a medal to whoever scheduled their outdoor event for the nicest day in the history of February.

Nothing and no one obligates counties or cities to charge you the maximum amount in taxes that they can legally get away with charging. Why any private citizen reflexively defends the government’s right to screw people over is beyond me. OP you are right, it’s morally bankrupt. In my opinion they should be obligated to buy your house at the value they quote it at if you would choose that over paying bloated tax increases.

I wish the cops would get out of the neighborhood and leave them alone, thanks for the info.

They got way too many cops out there rn. They don’t handle these situations very well and often escalate.

That is a pretty big difference, even considering inflation. If there's no explanation I'd go to them looking for an answer.

How did they not sign for the notice? That’s not a thing. If you send by certified mail, someone will have to pick it up from the post office even if they aren’t there at the property when the mailman tries to deliver it
