This is the reason I would leave if I was a billionaire. Living in California I never felt like my tax dollars got me anything more than they got me in other states and if the city/country/state got even more I knew it would go to some sort of tomfoolery like a high speed rail that doesn’t actually get built or a $1m bathroom.

The Noe valley bathroom was enough of an anomaly that it made the news. Do you have actual evidence that California taxes are not well spent?

please count how much money california (and SF specifically) spent on "homelessness" and what does the California has to show for it? its 24 billion with a giant B.

1% of the budget. Is that supposed to be a lot?

its a lot of money for the lack of results they achieved

If you are a billionaire or 100 millionaire, you probably got rich in California, Washington, or Oregon, or probably in the northeast of America in the last 50-60 years, if prop 40 passes, it will have the same effect as prop 13, a positive effect long-term that is, if you manage your finances, most of the states in the Union you are out of luck. why is that?

As someone who lives in California. Goodbye please move to one of those red states. Florida? This percenter will stay in California, and if I had to, the only other two places I would go would be Washington or Oregon, and if the United States was still on good terms with Canada, British Columbia which doesn’t look too bad, but I’m staying on the west coast of North America.

214 out of 40 million people, there is no need to carry water or suck up to them.
