G.O.A.T.
There are many articles about the housing crisis in California, but you don't read them because you have no interest in alleviating rising housing costs for the working man.
The topic at hand is gas prices and why there is a huge differential relative to other states. It has cost CA residents over $17 Billion.
$17 Billion to working families is a huge sum. Nothing to sneeze at. Not even for an elitist extremist.
In 2017, the state’s Petroleum Market Advisory Committee found that California has had “a continuous and significant unexplained differential compared to the rest of the country” since February 2015. That difference has cost Californians more than $17 billion, or about $1,700 for a family of four, said Severin Borenstein, faculty director at the Energy Institute at UC Berkeley’s business school.
Gov. Gavin Newsom wants to know why California’s gasoline prices are higher than in the rest of the country, blaming potential “inappropriate industry practices” Tuesday rather than the state’s higher taxes and tougher environmental regulations.
Newsom asked the California Energy Commission for an analysis of the state’s gas prices by May 15. California drivers were paying an average of $4.03 a gallon Tuesday, or $1.18 more than the national average, according to AAA.
Higher taxes, along with a combination of tougher gas standards and environmental regulations, normally account for about 70 cents of that difference, said Gordon Schremp, a senior fuels specialist with the California Energy Commission. But the rest is a mystery.
You offer no solutions, and instead of addressing the issue at hand, you deflect the issue to housing. Housing is a legitimate issue but not the topic being discussed.
Please try to keep your eye on the ball Madam Bartelby!
