Yes exactly, it's like everyone is arguing past each other with different assumptions about how taxes will be used. Take this quote from the article:

> “We need the wealth that has been generated in the city to be shared more broadly with workers and residents”

This person seems to assume the taxes will be shared with the workers and residents. Would they still support these taxes if that were not the case?

Others (in this discussion) seem to think the taxes will be thrown at things that don't benefit the city. Maybe so? Would they be more supportive if they knew it was for something they believed in?
