Your post 42 quoted old, incorrect stuff.

My post 46 quotes the very same numbers, you quoted in the other thread you referred to. So what is the problem?

I had my post where I said this is all for infrastucture (45), pulled by the Mods, because I realized that statement was incorrect.

FO, what I quoted is NOT incorrect. To the extent the same elements still largely make up the bond package, the lack of infrastructure still exists. I have been through it, line by line--it still includes parks, retrofitting buses, etc. Unfortunately, with the new Frank Nitti approach by the Governor's enforcers, we won't even have the conservatives speaking out on this. He effectively silenced many of them into not voting at all. It's disgraceful and subverts our Representative form of governing. Just read the ballot description for the Housing bond. This is NOT infrastructure!

"Housing and Emergency Shelter Trust Fund Act of 2006" and in the same square under those words, the following in 8-point type:
"For the purpose of providing shelters for battered women and their children, clean and safe housing for low-income senior citizens; homeownership assistance for the disabled, military veterans, and working families; and repairs and accessibility improvements to apartment for families and disabled citizens, the state shall issue bonds totaling two billion eight hundred fifty thousand dollars ($2,850,000,000) paid from existing state funds at an average annual cost of ______ dollars ($_____) per year over the _____ year life of the bonds. Requires reporting and publication of annual independent audited reports showing use of funds, and limits administration and overhead costs. (The Attorney General shall fill in the blanks in this subdivision with the figures provided by the Legislative Analyst for the annual average cost of the bonds and the number of years required to retire the bonds.)"
