Budget and Finance Committee Kills Condo Lottery Bypass Fee

In an effort to the eradicate the stench of plebeian home ownership, Newsom's had some sort of inane condo lottery bypass fee in his budget, one that would've charged potential homeowners $4,000 to $20,000. SocketSite reports that it's officially dead now, claiming, "By way of a plugged-in tipster and Supervisor Carmen Chu, San Francisco's Budget and Finance Committee 'voted 3-1 on Monday to table/not to advance the [one-time condo conversion lottery bypass for a fee] proposal forward.'" Delightful news. Update: Or not! [Examiner, SocketSite, via Curbed]
