- dahfizz 5y agoI'm just saying that the correlation doesn't make much sense. If more taxes and more government action was the "simple solution" as my parent said, then CA would have less homelessness and crime than the rest of the nation. The opposite is true.
- Tiktaalik 5y agoThe costs of living are higher in CA too
- dahfizz 5y agoAnd do you think very high taxes is a solution to this problem? Do you consider the high COL to be unrelated to the policies that CA has?
- Tiktaalik 5y agoI think the solution to homelessness and petty theft is to house people. Typically such housing is only deliverable by the state and taxes are a way to pay for it. I know that the status quo of not housing people is not going to solve homelessness. If California feels it is "tapped out" of taxing its citizens and yet is unable to build housing to house its population, maybe it needs to have a look at what it's spending its money on. (Of course the fact that Prop 13 exists means there's plenty of more tax room...)
