Bay Area residents approve $1 billion tax for public transit

(The Center Square) - San Francisco Bay Area residents approved multiple new taxes to fund public transit in this year’s election, including a $1 billion annual sales tax. Supporters of the tax say the increased income could be a lifeline for the struggling Bay Area Rapid Transit, Caltrain and other regional public transit systems that had warned of major service cuts if the measure were not passed. But amid economic stress in the region, opponents questioned the transit system’s spending practices. “Transit is worth the investment,” read a BART statement after the regional ballot Measure RTM passed. "RTM" stands for "Regional Transit Measure." A spokesperson for the transit system declined an interview request from The Center Square for this story. Measure RTM asked voters in five Bay Area counties - Alameda, Contra Costa, Santa Clara, San Mateo and San Francisco - to increase sales taxes over the next 14 years to support BART, Oakland’s AC Transit, Muni, Caltrain and several other regional public transit systems as they struggle from the post-pandemic ridership drop. The tax is 0.5% in all the counties, except for San Francisco, which will see a 1% tax. The tax will cost residents outside of San Francisco

UC system buys Ritz-Carlton hotel in Half Moon Bay for $193 million

The University of California system bought the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Half Moon Bay for $193 million last month, according to San Mateo County records. The property was purchased by an affiliate company based at the Oakland headquarters of the University of California Office of the President, as first reported by local news outlet Coastside News. The university did not disclose its plans for the oceanfront luxury resort. A UC spokesperson said the Board of Regents has delegated investment authority to the university’s chief investment officer within set asset classes and risk limits. The board, the spokesperson said, does not approve individual real estate transactions. “UC Investments operates with fiduciary independence in managing the university’s investment assets,” the spokesperson said. “UC investment decisions are not directed by the UC Board of Regents or the UC Office of the President.” UC Investments, led by chief investment officer Jagdeep Singh Bachher, manages the university system’s investment funds. At present, the portfolio of investments totals approximately $236 billion. This includes retirement, endowment and cash assets. As of June 2025, about 5.5% of the university’s assets were invested in real estate. About a year ago, UC Investments bought the 331-room Residence Inn Berkeley for $175.8
