While a low effort comment, it does touch on an important topic.
Imagine if CA was run with the kind of efficiency that Singapore or South Korea was run. Clean, safe streets. Modern infrastructure.
Instead we get a state government that is going to waste the goose that laid the golden egg. The high taxes paid disappear in a black hole centered in Sacramento.
CA reminds me of New Jersey. Other states used to be jealous of New Jersey's economy, yet the riches were frittered away by an inefficient government.

- janalsncm 1y ago> punishable with prison time The police can force you to stay in a shelter, yes. But they have them available. Most very poor people in SG stay in subsidized housing. In SF there literally are not enough shelter beds. If you were homeless today you would have to sleep on the street.
- tkel 1y agoGreat idea, eradicating visible poverty from public spaces by putting people in cages and punishing them for being poor, I think the Nazi party would like to have a friendly word with you. I bet you also think jails are a "housing program".
