Bay Area approved saving public transit, but how much will it cost you

Bay Area voters approved two transit tax measures in the 2026 general election, adding new costs for residents in five counties while funding BART, Muni, Caltrain, and other transit systems. How much more will residents pay? It depends on where they live. The Regional Transit Measure will impose a 14-year sales tax in Alameda, Contra Costa, San Francisco, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties. San Francisco will add a 1% sales tax, while the other four counties will add 0.5%. San Francisco voters also approved Proposition H, a 15-year property tax to fund the San Francisco Municipal Transportation Agency. Here's more about the two measures, how each Bay Area county voted, and how the new taxes will affect residents in each county. Regional Transit Measure and Proposition H explained The Regional Transit Measure will create a 14-year, five-county sales tax in Alameda, Contra Costa, San Francisco, San Mateo, and Santa Clara counties, expected to generate about $980 million annually as a new revenue source for the region's transit system. Specifically, San Francisco County will introduce a new 1.0% sales tax, and Alameda, Contra Costa, San Mateo and Santa Clara counties will introduce a new 0.5% sales tax.

Silicon Valley had a terrible election night. One local billionaire did not

Election night was, to put it mildly, a bloodbath for the tech industry. But one local tech billionaire emerged almost spotless. Ripple chairman and San Francisco native Chris Larsen poured more than $22 million into national politics this cycle, much of it to the Democratic candidates and PACs that helped usher in a historic blue wave. In California, he spent millions boosting moderate, business-friendly candidates and measures that scored wins in deep-blue districts.

Palo Alto’s Squire House Lists for $19.9 Million; City Records Differ on Preservation Contract

The Squire House at 900 University Avenue is listed for $19.9 million. It has not changed ownership since 1999, so a completed sale would be its first ownership change since then; the listing itself does not mark a sale. Palo Alto Online reports that the 7,794-square-foot Crescent Park property was built in 1904.

Bramson: Voters have spoken, but California’s affordability crisis remains

For a family in San Jose struggling to pay $3,000 a month in rent, the results of the Nov. 3 election probably won’t change much about next month’s bills. Neither will they shorten the commute of a worker traveling two hours each day because living near their job is simply too expensive. And for someone facing eviction, the promise of future housing construction offers little comfort when the rent is due tomorrow.
