Episode notes

The city of LA is now saying that it's expecting to make a lot less from the transfer taxes also known as Measure ULA. The measure is now projected to reel in up to $672 million in revenues during its first year. But when the measure was actually presented to voters in November, proponents of the taxes said they would add more than $900 million a year.
