To be clear, "they" is not the "they" [[the city). It's "we". The city will not impose it on anyone. It will be up to each neighborhood.

Just like a HOA, each neighborhood can choose how much or whether to make an assessment. It's done by local election. The city has nothing to do with it.

I pay city taxes. I also pay HOA dues. There are plenty of neighborhoods that would happily [[or begrudgingly) pay more if they knew that the funds would stay locally.

I applaud this move.
