Can you provide any evidence that $10 billion can solve homelessness in CA or build a vast network of public light rail? I think you’re off by at least a zero.

I don't know about homelessness (which is a much more difficult issue which can't be solved by just throwing money at it), but most developed countries built high speed rail lines and/or urban light rail transit systems for much less than 10,000,000,000$.
