Simply put; it's the law of supply and demand. One in five Californians can afford a median priced home because the supply of homes is incredibly low relative the demand for homes. The supply is low not for a lack of materials or places. but because of anti-growth government regulation and endless lawsuits by eco-wackos.
And Norm... All this bondage we're being sold into... Couldn't one call that "Strip Mining CA's Fiscal Futures?" (yes, I deliberately made that plural!)
The concept of "Diminishing Returns" is on the cusp of over-taking ALL of CA's governance as well as the future interests of business interests, both large and small!!!
We needed to "turn on a dime" after Davis and "drain the swamp!" Instead, we screwed around giving the leftist legislative allegators devastating amounts of leeway and "respect" and now, instead of turning around, we've turned to ETERNAL BONDAGE with TERMINAL STUPIDITY!!!
It doesn't do any good to "be nice" and suppress criticism when it's earned and deserved by either Party's Governor/Legislators!!!
