Californians start to reject progressive policies but not fast enough

By Thomas A. Smith

Whatever the electoral outcome, California is gradually changing. Gov. Newsom has promised a whole new court system to deal with mentally ill homeless people, while Bass has called for a new psychiatric hospital and FEMA involvement in sheltering LA s 44,000 homeless people.

California s cities need thousands more police officers and beds in shelters, rehab clinics and mental hospitals. It will take years to solve its problems. But, if Gascon is recalled, and Caruso is elected, California will get new leaders who at least recognize them. 

Michael Shellenberger came in third as an independent candidate in California s June 7 gubernatorial primary election and is the author of San Fransicko: Why Progressives Ruin Cities.
