ways this can YES:

• it's already implemented and in effect, for at least a month, with no set plans to remove it. ballot measures to change/remove/delete it are allowed to be happening in the future, as long as the de facto state of the existing plan is happening and hasn't got an end date

• OR if at claim end there is an an implementation plan approved as much as possible at the time, with a fixed day, date and year for it to go into effect, confirmed prices, and be fully on schedule to actually happen at that date, which also must be within 1 year of close, that can YES too

Otherwise NO

The plan must have a large area (at least 20% of the SF metropolitan area) which uses a monetary price or proxy for it to charge extra for people driving into/in the area. It must be actually happening at least 4 days a week for at least 8 hours (or equivalent in hours/week).

• Update 2025-19-01 (PST) (AI summary of creator comment): Update from creator:

  • The 20% area requirement refers to the city proper of San Francisco, not the entire metropolitan area.
