Impact analysis
Diverts a yet-undetermined share of future property tax growth for up to 75 years toward subway construction; general fund untouched today.
Transit riders, workers commuting to job centers like Cedars-Sinai, and residents seeking reduced car dependency.
Skeptics worry tax increments diverted for 75 years could otherwise fund city services, and fear SB 79 displacement.
