How we can FIX California Together!
FULL TRANSCRIPT
hey i'm kevin pafrath i go by meet kevin
online and i'm running for governor
to replace gavin newsom my policies are
aimed at solving the primary issues we
have in the state of california
which i don't believe are republican or
democratic at heart
i believe we have californian issues in
california now even though i'm running
as a democrat
i view myself as a californian for
example
my plan includes building 80 emergency
facilities with the national guard
to provide mental health and substance
abuse services educational services
and basic life services like a bed a
shower
a toilet and food to all homeless within
60 days
we will end homeless living on our
streets
and worse dying on our streets
more homeless die on our streets every
year
than people in california die to gun
violence and we have a gun violence
epidemic
now if you like my solution so far on
homelessness imagine all of the other
solutions that i've got for the rest of
our problems in our state
which we're going to go through some of
right now but i do want to ask you to
consider going to meetkevin.com
donate and donate it to the cause
because we need
help to beat governor gavin newsom
and the mismanaged government we have
right now we need your help
otherwise we won't be able to make it so
consider donating at be kevin.com
donate i will also introduce future
schools to our communities which will
allow
high school students to graduate at 18
with career focused skills
enabling them to get hired at 18 and
they'll have a financial education
for free and without debt these future
schools will also be available to adults
and adults attending these separated
future schools we're looking to get a
career which is what we're going to
teach them we're going to combine
community college high school trade
school and financial education
and for the adults attending future
schools we will pay them
two thousand dollars a month for up to
two years in exchange for them attending
future schools why it's simple a forty
eight thousand dollar investment two
years times two thousand dollars a month
will help us lower the cost of medical
welfare
and poverty related expenses much more
than forty eight thousand dollars while
reducing
crime by encouraging adults to reskill
in our future schools
consider this inmates today cost us
about a hundred fifty thousand dollars a
year to house
forty eight thousand dollars all of a
sudden doesn't seem that much in future
schools
to re-educate people to prevent them
from
going down the path of crime in the
first place san francisco spends five
thousand dollars per month per tenth
to house homeless individuals that's
sixty thousand dollars for one year two
thousand dollars a month for two years
and educating folks in a career is again
just forty eight thousand dollars
homeless and inmates will have access to
our adult future schools
and so that way we can reduce the causes
of crime
poverty and homelessness additionally
i'm going to prioritize the
redevelopment
of commercial and office buildings into
homes
i'm going to speed up building permits
no more waiting six weeks to get a
ceiling friend permit
and i will make it a goal of building
500 000
new housing units throughout california
each year for the next five years
we have over 482 communities throughout
california we have plenty of room and
this means we just need about a thousand
properties or thousand housing units per
city
per year but what we need folks to have
more affordable housing in california
is more housing and that way we can stop
bleeding our state
dry of talent that is fleeing our state
to texas florida idaho and las vegas
see i believe that california is great
california is beautiful and the people
of california are smart
and that california has a real shot at
being the fourth largest economy in the
world
it's currently the fifth largest with
this vision in mind we can't
nonchalantly brush off the fact that
people are fleeing california
we can't use babies being born and
students coming to california
offsetting the fact that working men and
women over 18
are leaving the state and taking their
revenues
with them folks with the vision in mind
of becoming the fourth largest economy
in the world
we'll be able to lower poverty reduce
crime with more community policing
reduce the cost of housing by providing
cheaper alternatives by giving the free
market what it needs
more supply and we'll have better
schools so that folks can get into high
paying careers
like nursing computer programming
electrical and mechanical engineering
and more
and at the same time will lower the cost
of programs like section 8
medical and welfare now we're not taking
any of those programs away
the argument is that we should focus on
giving
folks the opportunity to gain dignity to
get dignity
back build their knowledge with a career
and get fully educated to where they
don't need to be on these programs
through their choice because they're
making more money
and folks we can't keep teaching our
students chemistry in high school
and expecting them to build those
careers
or expecting them to know how to build
wealth at 18 without a financial
education
it doesn't make sense that ends with me
i am running to be a common sense
governor to stop wasting money
in addition i'm going to help solve our
traffic and water shortage crisis by
repurposing wasteful spending
for example the high-speed rail will
eventually service folks traveling from
bakersfield to san francisco
in three hours places that folks can
actually fly between
much faster and without stops and so
this is interesting see
the high-speed rail solves a traffic
problem we
don't actually have the argument though
is that the high-speed rail will help
our economy become green
and expand our economy but unfortunately
the high-speed rail won't do either of
those things
see environmentally it'll take 71
years to break even on the high-speed
rail
because of the amount of carbon that
we're pumping into the environment
building the rail in the first place
economically
the high-speed rail will be a break even
over 70 years at best
so instead of spending a hundred billion
dollars on wasteful projects
think about what we could do immediately
not over the next 71 years
with just 5.2 billion dollars or 5.2
percent
of what we're slated to spend on a
high-speed rail we could end our water
crisis
we could build one aqueduct between los
angeles and boston
buy cheaper and cleaner water and
support our san joaquin valley farmers
by stopping the fact that we are
pleading them dry of water
to send water to los angeles we could
end
the water crisis folks we could also
eliminate income taxes on californians
making less than 250 000
for three years by eliminating the high
speed rail
what would you rather have high speed
rail or no income taxes for three years
folks we can also work with our private
businesses to build
a variable direction toll road tunnels
where we build tunnels guess what not
somewhere we don't need them
but somewhere we actually need them like
congestion points along highways or
under highways like the 5
the 101 and the 405 that way we're
building additional roads
where we need them and since they'll be
optional and variable direction toll
roads they'll always flow with the main
direction of traffic
and no one will be forced to use them
because they'll be under existing
freeways we'll just make sure that buses
can use them
for free to speed up public
transportation and anybody who wants to
pay for them
can pay for them and when they do we'll
be able to lower the gas tax
and we'll be able to upgrade our roads
appropriately
and finally end the pothole problem we
have in california
which is really just symbolic of a
mismanaged government
folks if you want a common sense
government you need to have a common
sense
governor go to meet kevin.com donate and
support
