Public banks are owned by and accountable to the people. They are an engine for investing in and building our communities because the money that would typically go to maximizing private profits with private banks instead goes right back into the community.
Public banks solve many problems and provide tremendous value for communities across the world. 25% of the world's banking assets are held in public banks because they work so well at reinvesting public funds to support community development.
The Priorities of Prop B
The Public Bank will make loans to build an economy that works for everyone.
Affordable HousingLoans from the Public Bank can help provide the financing to build the backlog of 17,000+ approved affordable housing units.
Small Business SupportIn tough times, the Public Bank will provide affordable loans to replace the predatory lenders that small business owners are often forced to use to pay staff and keep the lights on.
Green EnergyThe Public Bank can lower energy prices over time by unlocking green energy projects like solar panel installations and EV charging stations to bring cheaper, clean energy to every corner of our city.
Prop B is NOT a tax.
