Many cities believe they must have a gimmick to attract tourists.
One such rouse the city of San Diego uses is it’s “world famous “ zoo.
There are many rubs to this topic but one that is particularly evil is a century-old mill tax instituted for maintenance of the zoo. Nowadays the amount is .05 cents for every hundred dollars worth of real estate value a landowner has.
The median home price in San Diego is in the high hundreds of thousands.
The local newspaper San Diego Union Tribune reported on June 27, 2022 that the zoo was raking in almost $18 million dollars with this sneaky tax.
The paper also reported that although most citizens don’t hold zoo passes they still have to pay. They cannot opt out. Even if anyone of them is morally against the imprisoning of animals. Tax payers don’t even get a discount on entry tickets.
