Impact analysis
The bond would cost the state's general fund roughly $500-600 million a year for about 25 years if voters approve it.
If passed, veterans, first-time homebuyers, and affordable housing developers across California could access bond-funded programs.
Critics argue taxpayers bear the debt service, and the mayor argued state mismanagement could waste the funds.
