Scott Alexander, writing for Astral Codex Ten, outlines his voting recommendations for California's 2026 ballot, focusing on housing, fiscal policy, and education/healthcare funding. He expresses reservations about Proposition 1, a $11.25 billion housing bond, citing high per-home costs and potential market distortions, though he acknowledges the need for more housing. Alexander supports Proposition 2, which would increase the state's Rainy Day Fund, viewing it as a sensible fiscal measure against tax watchdog opposition. He also weakly supports Proposition 3, an extension of a tax on wealthy individuals used for schools and healthcare, despite its temporary nature becoming permanent. AI
