Permit me to interject a few observations/empirical data:
1. CA teachers are the highest paid in the US. Yet CA spends slightly less PER STUDENT on education than the median. How does that happen? Huge class sizes.
2. Firefighters are about the most overpaid of all government workers, based attractiveness of the job relative to pay. Applications swamp openings, when there are openings. Also, turnover low. And no, it is not statistically a very dangerous job compared to construction, mining, & many other categories.
3. Mello Roos fees should be largely capitalized into the value of the house, therefore are greatly overrated.
