Even local CA government is stupid.
It’s really easy to waste other people’s money.
Everywhere liberals govern, waste follows. Nashville is considering a new multi-million dollar soccer stadium to lure professional soccer there. This after they just spent $91 million for a minor league baseball stadium and over $300 million for the Titans’ stadium.
And then they wonder why their taxes are so high.
Even back in the early seventies when they built BART, I knew something wasn’t quite right with the idea of the government pushing something that wasn’t really needed, and connected communities that really never wanted to be connected in the first place. The Bay Area Rapid Transit system was built and is maintained entirely on the backs of the California taxpayer, yet generously benefits financially a select few who got into key positions of ‘public servitude’ early on like a pyramid scheme. It also ushered in a forty year crime wave from the rougher parts of the Bay Area into the suburbs. Most people don’t make what a BART janitor makes, all fully taxpayer subsidized.
