> But what stands out is that this heavy-handed, controversial tax is being proposed during a time of relative prosperity.

There are CS graduates with a masters degree working 12-hour shifts at Sweetgreen to afford rent on a 300 square-foot apartment.

You are not living in a period of relative prosperity, it's not the 1990s anymore. You are living in a unique, post-gentrified nightmare that does not exist anywhere else in the United States.
