I've lived up and down this coast, and no one ever worried about smoking it where ever they pleased. Legalizing it was just a formality. But there's a difference between making it legal in my town and making it available in my town. No one in Sacramento would ever be smart enough to predict that, but it didn't stop them from predicting how much it would bring in and spending that money before they had it. Suddenly, all the people in Rancho PV, Malibu and Beverly Hills who are happy with legal dope don't want dispensaries in their neighborhoods. And presto! Another CA tax coming up to make up for the taxes they're not getting from the dope. Maybe another nickel on the gas tax will do the trick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think my options are either Fairfax (boonies) or SF. Pretty sure Mill Valley outlawed it before the legalization vote was even on the ballot.

I’ve done revenue projections in conjunction with local (city/county) govts. To say their projections are even realistic in any known mathematical universe would be an understatement. I had one councilman tell me that I was full of $&@! when explaining that demand is elastic even after he agreed with a hypothetical example I gave him.

B-Man Posted January 14, 2019 Share Posted January 14, 2019 HERE’S WHY PEOPLE, JOBS ARE FLEEING BLUE STATES TO LIVE IN RED ONES: Yes, it just makes common sense that people who can leave states with high taxes, onerous regulations and high unemployment. But Antonio Chaves, writing in American Thinker, provides an absolutely devastating presentation of the data showing the sources and depths of distress for middle and lower-middle class people living in places like California and Maryland. It’s a data-intensive read, but well worth it. And Chaves offers some interesting thoughts on how red-state leaders should respond to the droves of former blue-staters crossing into the jurisdictions. UPDATE (from Glenn Reynolds:) My Welcome Wagon idea is more urgently needed than ever. . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
