Link: Prop 47 Creates Crime WaveLink: Over 31,000 "smash and grab" cases in SF were reported in 2017I went to Santa Clara this week and the restaurant that I went to had a big warning sign at the check in desk not to leave anything in your car. So it is not just a SF phenomena. Later I went to a movie in Sunnyvale and when I came out, broken window glass was between my car space and the adjacent car space (it was not there when I went in). My car was OK but the other car was gone and presumably hit. Only 2% of these smash and grab crimes get solved in SF and, even if they are solved, do not constitute a felony. So the risk vs reward for the criminal is tilted way toward the reward. Congratulations CA Liberals on your achievement! Any suggestion on how you plan to address this issue you created? Or will we just see the same come to a neighborhood near us throughout CA?

No longer a SF phenomenon, my friend and his car was just victimized by a Smash and Grab in South Coast Plaza. My thanks from him to you progressives for allowing him to help the needy. You are so virtuous with your wonderful, forward-thinking policies. |

Link: Smash & Grab Gangs Moving SouthLink: Must prove that a car’s doors were locked to prosecuteLink:Prop 47 Crime WaveUnderstand that a conservative hasn't had any say in California law making since Lungren lost in 1998 and the Democrats/Liberals/Leftists/Progressives have had unfettered power since Moonbeam was elected for the third term in 2010. The idiocy on display in CA at this time is all because of leftist "brilliance" Are you saying that Zoning (and lets throw in Rent Control just because that is another leftist homelessness red herring) has anything to do with the opioid addiction epidemic, the easy availability of Mexican heroin, the mental illness that accompanies prolonged drug abuse, the breakdown of the family, the reduction of penalties for property crime with 2014's Prop 47, the flushing of the prison system with 2016's Prop 57, the lax vagrancy laws & the general unwillingness by CA DA's to prosecute vagrancy and property crime violators given the legal advantages the alleged criminals have? |

Ophiod addiction? Now you're really joking. You do realize that the highest ophiod addiction rates are in Red states... right?? Seems I remember the most famous ophiod addict is non other than Rush Limbaugh. Zoning and land use are tied into our current problems. I worked in land use for years and I never met a rich Republican or Democrat who didn't fight every project that affected their view or property value. They were living for the "now"...just like people always have been. The paradigm of growth in California drove up the property values, wouldn't have mattered who was in charge. My daughters family cant afford a
house in the Bay Area either. If it makes you feel better to blame all the ills of society on the "other" than fine. The problems of society are complex with lots of nuance and gray areas, something the rigid right wingers don't seem capable of understanding.

My suggestion is vote Republican. 12 years of Democratic control has devastated California….crime is out of control….shoplifting, assault and murder are spiking…homeless camps are everywhere in the cities.
Time for a change.

This is like blaming the mayor of Honolulu for the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor. The Dems have run CA for 12 years…..and not fixed the situation. |

Daughter was at Knotts Friday when the drive by shooting occurred. Broke her toe amid the shoving running and hiding within park. Trump's fault, I'm sure . California is in the early stages of being Illinois. Just needs one or two more decades of unopposed Democrat control. |

My beautiful 32 year old suffered a horrific lower leg injury (think Monday night Football) in a freak accident during Covid. Dont think I thought about politics regarding her injury. The injury your daughter suffered could have easily happened 40 years ago. Sorry she got hurt, but not the healthiest thing to bring politics into it..especially the assumptions. |

I do not blame all of California's major problems on the Democrats. Many diverse factors, over many years, have lead to the creation of those problems. Still, it is a fact that California has had one-party rule for many years. No matter what one thinks of any one political party, it is undeniable that, long term, one-party governance is dangerous. Sooner or later a party in power will become corrupt, or at any rate complacent and lazy.
Or maybe it is just that no party can solve the nation's most serious problems. I wish I were more optimistic.

AzWm The Democrats were/are chosen by a diverse population of 43 million people to run the state...Republicans have had their chance and the people have found them wanting...Democrats in this state are not restricting the vote of the people...unlike the one-party rule and anti-democracy TX/GA...CA is not coming up with silly laws, rules and regulations to stifle conservatives and the Republican vote...Dems retain power through their acts and issues...which the vast majority of Californians approve...that's why they keep winning and retain power...not by TX-GA voter restrictions and shenanigans...nobody wants lunatics running their state.... |
