California Governor Gavin Newsom crows about a record 97 billion dollar surplus caused by rising property tax assessments while 20 mega million mansions go up in smoke because they were built too close together.

In what should garner Governor Newsom the Obtuse Award of the year, Gavin Newsom had the gall to gloat about a 97 billion dollar budget surplus during 100 million dollars in fire damages to fire ravaged homes that were caused by a corrupt system that has placed tens of thousands of homes, or maybe 100's of thousands of homes too close together to competently fight off fires.

After having built the homes too close together to save from a fire, suddenly it's global warming's fault.

If Gavin Newsom had actually showed up for the Laguna Nigel Coastal fire, he would have had to answer why the destroyed Mansions were built so close together. The answer is quite obvious, the more land versus open space that is covered by homes and buildings, the more the State of California collects in Property Taxes. The more the State of California collects in Property Taxes, the more Gavin Newsom can crow about record setting Budget Surpluses.

Does Gavin Newsom ever visit a site in California that has suffered an economic calamity? Be it the loss of 100 million dollars worth of fire ravaged Mansions that apparently were built too close together, to the churning out of as much as 100 million dollars a day in fraudulent unemployment checks from a State run Unemployment Office that was sending out fraudulent claim checks for anywhere from one month to six months and resulted in anywhere from 10 billion to 30 billion in fraudulent check disbursements, Newsom seems to stay away from any California Disaster site as he primps and preens for his 2024 Democrat Presidential run.

California needs a Governor who will advocate for a sane amount of space between homes, and a Governor who will get Home Insurance companies and the pool pump fire fighting industry in the same room to iron out group discounts to homeowners and insurance reduction premiums for anyone with a pool who also has pool pump fire fighting gear.
 
Monday, Jul 17, 2023 update:  Since this article was written, Newsom was out of State while record snow hit California and people in the mountains were stuck in their homes from anywhere from a few days to two weeks, some died, and Newsom was nowhere to be found.  And since the warning about Home Insurance, California is now losing its major Insurance companies because of poor residential home layouts that make the homes more difficult to protect from fires, er, global warming, yeah, that's it, it was global warming's fault and nothing to do with fire engines not having access to a homes perimeter, or building homes too close together. As if that wasn't bad enough, Newsom is dismantling CEQA. end of Monday, July 17, 2023 update:
