Tax on Views Is a Joke
The Port Hueneme City Council now holds the new title as laughing stock champ of the country, for the enactment of its now famous view tax. The former holder was the Oxnard City Council when in 1989 it permitted beachfront building heights to be taller than those on the inland lots.
Lest the Oxnard City Council entertain the idea of recapturing the title by also enacting a view tax, let it first repay those inland lot owners (upwards of $50,000 each) for taking their views away when it voted to allow the mini-skyscrapers now being built on the beach.
