Prop 13 is hurting the economy. If they exclude rentals it will help
If they do that rents will go up way up as the landlords expense will go way up if they are long term owners .., or if under rent control landlords will be more motivated to get out of the rental business and redevelop into condos .
That’s going to actually make it worse for renters
also something to keep in mind the millions of illegals in CA help to keep demand for rentals high and thus high prices ... of course nobody mentions this because it’s not politically correct to discuss any negative side effects of millions of illegals .
Neither are farmers - they are getting paid to overproduce, in a situation when obesity is a bigger issue than starvation.
How much our farmers produce has absolutely nothing to do with obesity. even over eating has nothing to do with it. I guess if you lived in our country you might see it differently. We do not walk or exercise enough, we eat too much processed foods and like our sugar too much. That is where the obesity problem come in. It isn't the amount we eat but the way we prepare it that is the issue, but now we are getting off topic.
That bill will never get out of chamber. By the time that could ever have a chance of passing,the dollar as a reserve currency will be so controversial that the concept of subsides in general will be persona non grata

Subsidies are a gravy train that will help fatten any population. I very much doubt the the US will run out of food without subsidies.
Cost does impact on how much a product is consumed or used.
