The problem isn't taxation of income. The problem is the lack of taxation of land. The problems in San Francisco got worse precisely because they have property tax freezes. They should give owner occupied units a tax rebate instead of freezing taxes. Also, property taxes should be levied on the value of the land and not the building to reduce bureaucracy and indirect taxation of income.
