Proposition J would tax large foreclosure sales over $10M
Measure keeps the exemption for homes, condos, and buildings under five units.
San Francisco Proposition J would end a 42-year-old transfer-tax exemption for foreclosure sales of commercial and multiunit residential properties valued over $10 million, while preserving the exemption for single-family homes, condos, and residential buildings with fewer than five units.
Mayor Daniel Lurie and Supervisor Bilal Mahmood introduced the measure after Assessor-Recorder Joaquín Torres flagged a spike in high-value foreclosure exemptions. The Controller’s Office estimates $100 million to $150 million annually in the first five years if voters approve it, with revenue highly sensitive to foreclosure volume.

White House moves to cancel $810M in health and education funds
Pocket rescission days before fiscal year-end; appropriators call it illegal.
The Trump administration announced Friday night plans to cancel $810 million in already-appropriated funding for health, education, housing counseling, and related programs using a so-called pocket rescission just days before the fiscal year ends.
Senate Appropriations Chair Susan Collins (R-Maine) said the White House budget office “intentionally withheld these funds for months to execute this unlawful cancellation.” House Appropriations ranking member Rosa DeLauro (D-Conn.) also called the freeze illegal. The largest share, $567 million, scales back HHS Office of Refugee Resettlement accounts; other cuts include $25 million for migrant-student programs, $70 million for international education, $28 million in health research, and $56 million in HUD housing counseling.
