| California spends an insane amount on combating homelessness with nothing to show for it. This is a difficult problem to solve for sure; I'm not an expert in this field and would be speaking out of turn were I to suggest preferable alternatives. Suffice it to say that billions of dollars are being flushed down the toilet doing whatever is being done right now. |

| High speed rail. |

| ▲ | alphakappa a day ago | parent [-] | | Exactly $0 of high speed rail infrastructure was funded by sales taxes. State dollars came from prop 1a and cap and trade funds. About 12B over a decade and a half for heavy engineering, land acquisition etc. if that money was not spent it would have a negligible impact on your taxes. | | |
