California wants re-open large state hospitals for the insane

Insane, and MICA ( mentally ill/chemically addicted )

The initiative would be partially funded by general obligation bonds that would raise between $3 billion and $5 billion to go toward construction of “campus-style” facilities along with smaller homes and long-term residential settings, Newsom said.

In addition, it would overhaul California's Mental Health Services Act, an initiative approved by voters in 2004 that charges a 1% tax on incomes greater than $1 million to fund mental health services. Some lawmakers complained that money from the initiative bypassed those who needed it the most, and Newsom's office said the new version would improve oversight for counties.

"Modernizing it will lead to $1 billion every year for housing, treating substance abuse disorders, and more," said a statement from the governor's office.

California to seek beds for mental health, drug treatment

But the question is, how much of the state can they cram into them?

Blah, if it was a more sane state saying it I might say it's a good thing but Komiefornia will fuck it up no end and demand federal money making it yet another boondoggle for the tax payers.

What the heck is wrong with California? Instead of letting the mentally ill wander in the streets, they want to house them and provide treatments? WTF.

California never completes any of their major projects, I can't see this one going anywhere either.

What ever happened to California's "high speed rail" debacle that they started back at the beginning of the B. Hussein O. regime?

Will people ever be able to take a fast train from Fresno to Bakersfield?

I thought LA, SF & Sacramento were already just really large holding facilities for the insane?

Whatever, this will turn out to be just another failing program & source of funds that they can graft from in perpetuity

Billions have already been spent by elected libs in CA with zero positive results...
