Bay Area Voters Back $980MM Regional Transit Tax and S.F. Muni Parcel Tax in Early Returns

Bay Area voters appear to have approved both a five-county sales tax worth about $980 million a year for BART, Caltrain, Muni, AC Transit and other operators and a separate San Francisco parcel tax for Muni, according to early returns, removing the threat of drastic service cuts that would have hit the transit-served office districts and housing sites the region's real estate market is built around.
