Chris, you've done a hell of a lot more in following the actual news of Gavin for Gov than the Big Newspaper That's Always Firing people or the Little Newspaper That Prints Op/Eds on Every Page. Good job!
Here's another wrinkle in all of this - no matter how great the economy is, "fees" never go down. Politicians will cut "taxes" (income, property, etc) but they'll never cut fees, ever, no matter if the additional money is needed or not.
Plus, while you can deduct taxes from federal income tax, not always so with "fees", and in many cases, esp. in SF, the fee structure is so unbalanced and so counter-productive, it will stifle economic gains.
