[ ]a. (T) (ACCOUNTABILITY) This measure
will be subject to fiscal accountability
requirements mandated by law, including
independent financial audits, to ensure that
the money is spent consistent with
community priorities. --------------------------------- 24% ---- 39% ----- 18% ----- 13% ------ 6% 63% [ ]b. (T) (QUALITY OF LIFE) Sunnyvale is a
place where people desire to live and raise
families. This measure will help protect
and maintain essential City services,
including streets and roads, local parks, and
police patrols, that make our community a
safe place to live with a high quality of life.
----------------------------------------------------------- 34% ---- 39% ----- 15% -------8% ------ 4% 73% [ ]c. (T*) (MOST SALES UNAFFECTED)
This property transfer tax only impacts
properties sold for over 4 million dollars,
including commercial properties and only
the most expensive homes in the City. In
fact, it would not impact 99 percent of
single family home sales in Sunnyvale. ----------- 46% ---- 29% ----- 12% -------8% ------ 5% 75% (ASK SPLIT SAMPLE A ONLY)
[ ]d. (T*) (PARITY/MODEST) Sunnyvale’s
current property transfer tax is lower than
many other local communities. This
measure would simply increase the tax be
similar to the rates charged in other cities in
Santa Clara and San Mateo Counties. And,
it is only assessed when a home or property
is sold, representing a small fraction of the
sale price. ----------------------------------------------- 24% ---- 35% ----- 19% ----- 12% ---- 10% 59% Attachment 1

[ ]e. (T) (LOCAL CONTROL) We have seen
in the past that we cannot count on the state
or federal government to take care of our
needs during financially unstable times like
these. By law, all funds raised by this
measure are legally required to be used in
Sunnyvale, ensuring local control of our tax
dollars and a guaranteed source of funding
for essential city services during uncertain
times like these. --------------------------------------- 31% ---- 37% ----- 14% -------9% ------ 9% 68% [ ]f. (T*) (INFLATION ADJUSTMENT) This
measure contains language requiring that
the threshold of 4 million dollars—above
which the property transfer tax applies—is
increased regularly to account for inflation.
This will make sure that as home prices go
up, the vast majority of home sales will
continue to be exempted from the tax in the
future. --------------------------------------------------- 32% ---- 28% ----- 22% -------9% ------ 9% 60% (ASK SPLIT SAMPLE B ONLY)
[ ]g. (NOT EVERYONE PAYS) This type of
property tax will not be paid by everyone in
Sunnyvale. It will only be applied when a
property is sold by the seller or buyer, and
will represent only a small fraction of the
sale price. It will not increase the amount
that homeowners pay on an annual basis. --------- 33% ---- 31% ----- 22% ----- 12% ------ 1% 64% [ ]h. (T*) (HOMELESSNESS) Homelessness is
a serious problem in the Bay Area and
Sunnyvale is no exception. This measure
will help the City address homelessness by
continuing its successful partnership with
County and local nonprofit agencies that
provide services to people experiencing
homelessness in the City. This will also
ensure our parks and other public areas are
safe and secure for everyone. ----------------------- 33% ---- 40% ----- 14% ----- 11% ------ 2% 73% Attachment 1

[ ]i. (T) (RESPONSE TIMES - CRIME)
Response times for 911 calls are critical for
stopping crime, protecting victims and
saving lives. This measure will retain
neighborhood patrols and officers on the
street to maintain low crime rates in
Sunnyvale, keeping our community a safe
place to live, run a business, and raise a
family. -------------------------------------------------- 41% ---- 34% ----- 16% -------8% ------ 2% 74% (RESUME ASKING ALL RESPONDENTS)
11. Now that you have heard more about it, I would like to ask you again about the Sunnyvale City Services Measure to fund essential city services, including police and fire protection; 911 emergency response; disaster preparedness; addressing homelessness; tree, park and street maintenance; and other services by enacting a 0.75% real property transfer tax (paid by buyers and sellers upon sale) on property sales over $4,000,000?

[ ]a. (T) (GENERAL FUND) Don’t be fooled.
There is nothing in this measure that
requires any of the money to be used for
public safety services or any other program
mentioned in the description. It makes no
sense to write the government a blank
check. --------------------------------------------------- 24% ---- 28% ----- 21% ----- 20% ------ 7% 52% [ ]b. (T) (HOUSING) Buying a house is
completely out of reach for low-income
families and increasingly out of reach for
middle-class families. We should not be
supporting any measures that make buying
and selling homes more difficult with
increased taxes when properties are bought
or sold. -------------------------------------------------- 26% ---- 22% ----- 32% ----- 17% ------ 2% 48% [ ]c. (T*) (ECONOMY) We are still dealing
with a volatile economy, runaway inflation,
rising gas prices, and a housing crisis. The
cost of living is too high as it is. This is not
the time to increase any type of tax,
especially one that will only impact the
housing market. -------------------------------------- 23% ---- 26% ----- 35% ----- 14% ------ 2% 49% (SPLIT SAMPLE A ONLY)
[ ]d. (T) (PROPERTY TRANSFER TAX –
HOUSING COSTS) It already costs
between two and three million dollars to
buy a modest home in Sunnyvale. Plus,
we’re already taxed by both the county and
the City of Sunnyvale, meaning this
measure would raise the real property
transfer tax to a total of up to 750 dollars
per one hundred thousand of sales value.
We shouldn’t pass this measure and make
the cost of buying a home even more
expensive for hard-working families. -------------- 34% ---- 27% ----- 28% -------6% ------ 5% 61% Attachment 1

[ ]e. (T) (SENIORS) This type of measure
places too great a burden on seniors and
homeowners whose main asset is their
home. Specifically, the property transfer
tax will affect their ability to sell their
home and the return on their investment at
a time when our area is becoming more and
more unaffordable. ------------------------------------ 25% ---- 20% ----- 36% ----- 17% ------ 3% 44% (SPLIT SAMPLE B ONLY)
[ ]f. (T) (RESERVES) The City of Sunnyvale
has tens of millions of dollars in its
reserves, more than enough money to
balance its budget and pay to maintain City
services. It should spend its reserves first
before raising taxes. --------------------------------- 17% ---- 35% ----- 24% ----- 15% ------ 8% 53% [ ]g. (T) (WASTE W/ PENSIONS) Instead of
pushing more tax measures, the City should
just cut unnecessary spending, including
expensive pensions and healthcare benefits
for existing and retired City employees.
We don’t need to raise taxes again,
allowing bureaucrats and politicians to
waste our tax dollars. -------------------------------- 18% ---- 27% ----- 29% ----- 23% ------ 4% 44% Attachment 1
