Yeah, I know. But the answers to their stupidity would just confuse them anyway. Hey, if there are fewer criminal miscreants in our state, there might be more people coming back to CA who left when the State Gov failed to do their job in protecting citizens. Businesses might return to provide more jobs for more honest hard working people who would then buy those surplus houses. No, they just would not be able to understand common sense.
Add elimination of the overbearing environmental regulations and those businesses might just return — or others choose to build/relocate.
All of which would create new revenue for government. Silly little common sense arguments that seem to be lost in Sacramento.
