If you tax something, you get less of it. Which is why California’s housing and homelessness crises only would be made worse by raising taxes on any type of housing. But that’s exactly what would happen with Senate Bill 584, by state Sen. Monique Límon, D-Santa Barbara.

Late last month, Gov. Gavin Newsom made an unusually substantive legislative push by unveiling a plan to help speed up infrastructure projects by, among other things, finally taking on the California Environmental Quality Act.

Marijuana users who try to exercise those rights are subject to severe federal penalties, including up to 15 years in prison for buying or possessing a firearm.

There is no rational reason for 73-year-old Leslie Van Houten to remain in prison.

The fact that a for-profit enterprise succeeded while a non-profit failed seems counterintuitive. But that’s the beauty and wonder of Adam Smith’s “Invisible Hand.”

Has California lost its mojo?
