Liberal progressive Democrats have been in control of San Francisco and Los Angeles for at least a decade and during that time homeless has grown, crime has risen, and the poor cannot find affordable housing. Most people have become alarmed in both of those cities.
Everyone elected is sympathetic but talk about those issues has not resulted in any changes. The public is fed-up with the lack of progress.
The consequence is obvious. Rick Caruso is leading in the primary for Los Angeles mayor. The recall San Francisco District Attorney Chesa Boudin is a symptom of public frustration. There is a project to recall Los Angeles District Attorney George Gascon because he too is conducting his office in a manner similar to Boudin. The leading candidate for State Controller is Lanhee Chen, a Republican.
The public wants action not words. The message has been sent.
