Has anyone done an in-depth analysis of Proposal P?

Not me,outside of the bullet points,but it is fascinating and concerning to watch at the same time.

This battle between two fractions of a party is history in the making.

• develop free public broadband internet;
• provide reparations to Black residents;
• change police practices, policies, and training requirements;
• give residents amnesty for water and sewer fees; and
• grant tax credit for residents who show proof of overassessed property taxes.

Kudos to the person that can solve the countrywide problem of overassessed property taxes and how to streamline that screwed up process.

Some cities have already addressed reparations,those demanding it are not happy with the results,they are asking for reparations based on figuring lost income of what somebody could have potentially earned had everybody along the line been successful financially in life,not even taking into account the Great Depression,but going back to the 1800s.

The irony of raising taxes on higher wealth African Americans in order to pay reparations to other African Americans seems to be lost.

My bloodline lost land,titles and accumulated wealth not once but 3 times in 3 different countries before landing on the US shores broke and poor,I think England owes me a few thousand acres,three castles and a mule,no checks and in US funds please.

They are not saying how they expect to fund these programs without increasing taxes on an already overburdened city.

It sounds cool when you say tax the billionaires but blind when you cannot see the impact on cities when billionaires move to different pastures the mid west and Detroit suffered for generations when investment left.

Tax the rich and feed the poor until there are rich no more - it’s almost like you could make a song out of that.

But in a sense it does not matter what I think,it does when 90% of the rest of the party does not support it.

Back in 1920 the socialist party said,little by little we will garner positions of power within the government and when that time comes,we will be in a position to implement our mandate.

They were not very far off.
