Measure _ provides…, This is NOT an ongoing property tax or a repetitive tax., The RPTT is collected only once in transaction closing costs when Hayward residential and commercial properties are bought/sold. Businesses pay their fair share through the RPTT when they too buy/sell Hayward properties., Taxpayer Safegaurds are REQUIRED., ALL FUNDS MUST STAY LOCAL for City of Hayward purposes. The State can't take these funds away. Independent financial audits and regular public reporting ensure proper spending. Hayward's RPTT is currently the lowest among Alameda County charter cities. Measure_ would make ours the second lowest, well below six other cities.

In fact, if you vote yes on this tax, most of the money will probably be used to pay for pensions for…, This IS an ongoing tax., EVERYONE, including seniors, who are selling their homes in Hayward will pay this tax. This tax does increase the cost of living for Hayward's newest residents including first-time homebuyers. Help put Hayward on the right track to a sustainable future by telling City Hall to deal with its spending problem before it asks for more money., Vote NO on Measure_., s/Sofyan Karim Hayward resident

The City of Hayward has a spending problem and wants to try and solve it by making housing more expensive. The price of a typical home in Hayward is now more than $700,000. That's too expensive for most first-time homebuyers or families who want to put down roots here in Hayward, and for our children. Now the City wants to add thousands of dollars to the price of a home by almost doubling their…

There's one thing that the lone individual registering opposition to Measure _ didn't tell you: he's a real estate agent and landlord with a special interest in protecting his profits over Hayward's quality of life.

Here are the facts:, FACT:, Measure _ is about two things: maintaining vital city services that Hayward needs and protecting our quality of life -, without, impacting residents' daily cost of living., FACT:, Hayward is one of the Bay Area's most affordable home-buying communities. Measure _ will not change that., FACT:, This fee will be collected only once-when you buy or sell property.

None of this money can be taken to Sacramento. Independent audits and regular public reporting ensure proper spending. Hayward continues to move forward every year, becoming a more desireable place to live.
