California Estimated to be in a 31 billion dollar surplus next year :banderas:

[TRUEST]

The jealousy of some of y’all in this thread

Like it or not we are the greatest state

 

[Master Teacher]

If you move to "some cold ass Midwestern city" with a lower cost of living, you won't be homeless anymore with less competition for jobs

Y'all got to be trolling with these types of responses

You seem to don't understand these people want to be homeless, they want to live in tents

where did they get the tent from, you even ask yourself this question

this bum lifestyle is a choice,

 

[LezJepzin]

I hope they do something about the homeless and tent issues in every cotdammm city, it's an eyesore and no one should live like that

Along with our unemployment system

Bragging about the surplus is just trying to make people here forget the obvious issues in this state .

Cost of living

I love CA but Newsome is a fukking douche who's more into his Winery and giving his "Life Partner" the Bag from taxpayer money

We've already closed 1 state prison and we plan on closing another next year.

That also has a lot to do with the surplus as well.

Took long enough

How about putting that money back into education and afterschool programs? Better yet , for career centers ?

Not for everyone. High costs of living is greatly to blame too.

nobody's born homeless, living in a tent is a choice, instead of renting a room or getting room mates living in a tent is an option

a grown adult living in a tent is a choice

SACRAMENTO, Calif. (AP) — California’s independent Legislative Analyst’s Office is forecasting that the state will have a $31 billion budget surplus next year.

The predicted surplus is so large the office estimates it will exceed a constitutional limit on state spending by more than $14 billion.

That could require Gov. Gavin Newsom and state lawmakers to either cut taxes, spend more money on schools and infrastructure or give rebates to taxpayers. California’s tax collections have continued to soar despite the pandemic.

From April to June of this year, California businesses reported a 38.8% increase in taxable sales. The Legislative Analyst’s Office says it’s impossible to know whether these revenue gains are sustainable.


Imagine how much they would have if they didn't have to take care of broke Red states.

$31 billion surplus, in spite of an increase in social programs, is very .

Definitely Presidential running chops. Newsom vs Gretch. That's a hell of a matchup. Probably won't find a better ticket anywhere.

All that is pointless if they don't take care of that homeless problem.

We had a surplus this year too, dude's on youtube were hella off.

There are plenty of facilities for the homeless. The problem is that they require you to be drug free and there’s a curfew. Many don’t want to adhere to that.

Yet there's a surplus of its citizens living in squalor....

Red states are welfare recipients though.....

some of yall just be talking crazy without understanding how other states operate. CA has one of the better Unemployment systems/benefits. For example, in FL, the unemployment benefit max is $257 a week for a max of 12 weeks, yall got $450 a week for up to 26 weeks.

bruh, unless you living in the boondocks/swamps, no major metro area (South Florida, Orlando, Tampa etc) has 1 bedrooms for $800, or 2 bedrooms for $1k,

1 bedrooms are steady around $1200-$1500, you might find a studio or efficiency for $1k, 2 bedrooms are easily $1400-$2100.

Think about it, were the number 2 most populated state with a mass exodus here during the pandemic and now, but somehow rents dropped?
