Whereas, the decaying infrastructure of any state, county, or city is a blight on society and an indicator of the failure of Government to perform basic duties and keep promises made to the people.Be it enacted by the assembly:
Whereas, many roads are pockmarked with potholes and cracks, rendering them dangerous or damaging to drive on, and many sidewalks are cracked and crumbling, creating safety hazards for those who walk on them.
Whereas, bridges across waterways are often in short supply, causing just a few bridges to be used by hundreds of thousands of people at a given time, often becoming the sites of major traffic blockages, delays, and accidents.
Whereas, in the midst of a housing shortage which costs the State of Sierra billions of dollars annually, there exists thousands of vacant and empty lots owned by the state which could be used to develop millions of new multi-family units to provide a better quality and quantity of housing and reduce the homeless population while simultaneously driving down rental costs.
Whereas, in the county of California alone, almost four-hundred (400) small rural water systems and schools are unable to provide safe drinking water due to nitrate produced by nitrogen fertilizers, and chemicals such as arsenic and chromium 6 leaking into underground water basins. This problem grows larger when looking beyond California and into other counties.
Whereas, some cities in the the counties which boast some of the highest budgets and budget surpluses per fiscal year, such as San Francisco , San Diego, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, Portland, and Seattle are also burdened by some of the worst cases of littered streets and roads, and inefficient waste retrieval and disposal.
Whereas, many government owned restroom facilities across the state are not properly maintained, leading to broken down toilets, urinals, sinks, stalls, and diaper changing facilities.
Whereas, there is an abundance of improperly maintained sewers and sewage treatment facilities across the state, leading to blockages and sometimes even spills that, in addition to their generally disgusting smell, pose serious health and safety risks to the general public.
Whereas, county budgets have often showed a surplus at the end of the fiscal year, while all of these problems continue to exist without proper steps being taken to eliminate them.
