A good part of California's economy is based on the scam of giving tax incentives to wealthy real estate developers to pave huge areas for even more shopping malls so as to increase sales tax revenue. A pyramid scheme that has collapsed.

  Not to worry! People have short memories. It will come back. In the meantime the developers will build apartment buildings instead of single family homes. When it is advantageous to go the other way they will.
  
  I live in a solid Republican district in Northern L.A. County. The city I live in has forced out many old, well established businesses in a poorer part of town to pave the way for more expensive shops and businesses. Tax revenue is king regardless of which party is in power. I wonder where all of the less well to do families will be forced to move?

  Never mind that CA spends over $10 billion/year on benefits for illegals, right Quack?

    Your search for one cause of a very complex problem while being able to accept only the one cause that jives with your pre-conceived political notion is doomed to failure.
