I've often thought referendums need a reconciliation process. My tri-county area in the US voted overwhelmingly for a tax and program package to build light rail transit.

Within 4 years they passed another referendum cutting the taxes they voted in to pay for the trains without repealing the referendum requiring the transit authority to build the trains. Doh!

Build the trains without paying for them. California is much the same way, you have dozens of fantastic niche taxes to fund programs, but next thing you know you're paying $500,000 to house a single homeless family.

It would be easier to give said family $10,000 and exile them from the state, but then you'd have to face a very frank realization, California is not a good state for most working class people.

That's besides the point, let me know when this train gets built. More cities need public transit
