Or, you know, WSJ, the other Foxnews of the press, telling you how you as a conservative are a joke, nowhere to run at all. You won’t go anywhere if you can keep paying people to be quiet.
In fact, according to the Census Bureau’s Supplemental poverty measure, one in five Californians live in poverty, 20.4 percent to be exact, compared to a national average of 14.7 percent, the highest rate of poverty in the nation.
By extension, California also has the distinction of having the highest child poverty rate in the nation, with an average of 22.8 percent of California’s children living in poverty in 2013-15, including 5.1 percent living in “deep poverty.”
On top of it all, California is also the home of a quarter of the country’s homeless.
Liberals make Californians homeless. 25% of the national homeless population.
We need to replace liberalism with common sense ism.

It is unconscionable that a state can be as wealthy and purportedly progressive as California is and yet fail as much as California does.”
Nancy has already said she’ll run for speaker if dems win control of the house, and she wants to undo the tax reform and possibly raise taxes on the top earners.
So coming November when this single law is repealed, we should all high-five each other that the affordability of housing in California will finally be devastated no more.
Honestly, if this really solves the housing crisis, I am all for it.
In the recent past, Gas taxes are up+Car registration is up+school bonds(payable in the future) . Hence even if someone is not making more money, the taxes/fees are higher.
There is no way taxes + fees will be frozen in CA for the next 5 years(with new “universal” healthcare, “universal” preschool, “free” community colleges, mandatory solar roof on new housing… etc etc) coming.
Things have changed as far as rent control is concerned in the past 6 years. Things will keep on changing on rent control going forward(if no increase in supply) & not for the better for owners looking to rent houses out.
@Roy321 You forgot the massive unfunded pension liabilities too. Just look at the Mountain View numbers. Their pension contributions have more than doubled in the last 4 years. Pensions are going to swallow city, county, and state budgets. The unfunded liability has been growing during a massive bull market for stocks.
People should remember this chart when local governments want to increase taxes.
