The easiest species of performative legislation are resolutions that express support for some cause. Many hours of taxpayer-financed time are wasted on hearings and debate, even though such measures have absolutely no impact. The most frustrating performative measures address real problems weakly but allow politicians to claim success. If, as Rand implies, it costs an average of about $750,000 per unit to build low-income housing in California, the $10 billion bond issue being proposed would finance about 13,000 apartments. The Legislature should be cutting costs, not just passing token bond issues that will have little real world impact.
