So, on the one hand, people react with aghast to find out that a bottle of Purrel soap costs 20$, when it actually should cost 2$ to produce. But, here in CA, on the other hand, when a House (something far more crucial to people's lives), costs 800,000$ instead of 200,000$, that's okay (at least with the vast majority of voters).
