Indeed, most overlook the high cost of building a massive oasis in a desert.
Having been created, more people want to live there than carrying capacity allows.
Supply-and-demand dictates that SOMETHING provide “friction” to limit the number of people jammed into the relatively small oasis, and that becomes cost of living. The gov’t _CANNOT_ dig people out of poverty there, precisely because there isn’t enough for that many people to live on. Hand every poor person the price of an apartment (be it monthly rent or outright purchase), and prices will shoot up because there is simply not enough units available.
To phrase it a different way, as we’re in need of a linguistic escape from the “help the poor!” trap:
The carrying capacity of the CA ecosystem has been maxed out.
Because they keep importing more poverty.
WHY?
Because the Commucrats in California have turned us into a THIRD WORLD SHITHOLE!
That’s why.
one out of five California residents are poor.
