Local districts should fund school capital spending. Here in Santa Barbara, the local JC wants to build a couple of big new buildings - only problem is, more than half the students come from outside the local district. Cut the student population, and the need for the new buildings and parking goes away - as do the traffic problems and the crowded rental housing market.

The only solution would be to close UCSB, removing the lure; well educated, upwardly mobile, single, undergarduate and graduate division males.
I say CA should scrap all the bonds plans, the state income & corporate taxes, and just switch to a nice 15% sales tax on everything. Might as well force the illegals and drug dealers to pay something into the system too.
