This is nothing more than a homebuilders/developers bailout.

That’s lame.

There’s severe over supply of homes as it is. We don’t need incentives to build more... It is going to take years to fill the currently built homes. What a stupid move...

It isn't just that this doesn't help the sellers of existing homes. With that tax break it directly hurts the sellers of existing homes.

This is at the same time taxpayers can expect IOUs instead of tax refunds from the state.

The developers that are sitting on empty new homes, built by low wage illegal labor, paid off the corrupt state government insiders.

Crack down on illegal immigration and you will have a HUGE housing SURPLUS.

So what does California do?

Subsidize more new housing.

How incredibly stupid.

This just lowers existing home values

Can’t these politicians do anything right?
