It's gone from $160 billion to just over $320 billion.
Okay, where's that money going?
Let's just narrowly look at...
the homeless issue.
And the mental health costs associated with that.
So their solution, I touched on it earlier, there's this thing they call permanent supportive housing.
So they build apartment units for homeless people.
Because it's the government, they layer on everything that you'd expect.
So it's just unbelievable when you actually dig into it, how
It's like Britain in the 1970s.
The unions run this state.
So you have massive crony deals with the unions.
So these apartment units, I mentioned $700,000 earlier, in the San Francisco Bay Area, now they're costing a million dollars each.
You know, to build, that money is from the same pot, right?
I've got a friend who builds apartments using this new technology, mass timber, where you put timber.
It's a really amazing new building material and it's very innovative and it's whatever.
Building apartments without all the bullshit regulations, it's a quarter of the price.
It costs four or five times as much to build anything in California as in neighboring states.
So that's where the budget's going.
So you look at the money.
