      Congrats to Alameda County for recognizing how many social problems they can fix with a higher minimum wage.

      Of course this will be a ballot initiative.  Almost like putting rent control up to a vote, it will pass by a wide margin.

      Some estimates claim Urban Growth Boundaries and local zoning and building codes increase construction cost by as much as 40%.  Not hard to believe.

      That is why the founders felt that true democracy was abhorrent.  Tyranny of the majority.  Government by impulse.

      The billionaires tax is likely to pass as well. I hate the people who whine about democracy when they feel they’re in the majority, then talk about oppression and vulnerable populations. Why did Athens lose the Peloponnesian War?
