The costs of ballot initiatives should be described in per capita numbers, not absolute numbers. Bad: "this project will cost $8b." Good: "this project will cost the average taxpayer $3k over two years." "Is this worth $8b?" is very different from "would you pay $3k for this?"

Oops you are right. $1,700. The tax calculator I used was buggy. Still, that means a $10b/year measure would cost you ~$85 a year, and that's not something people would throw away trivially I imagine.

That sounds about right to me as well, and is a great example of why showing the number per income level (and if you own a home, if local) makes a huge difference - almost no one (not judging; mean it overall) has a good sense of individual tax impact of different bills.
