My right-wing sources have pointed out that liberal policies regarding crime have created a chronic situation of shop ransacking, causing businesses to close down and go out of business or relocate to other states, for example.
Generally, it is suggested that crime is out of control in California.
This has been my observation from watching happenings in Cali on the internet.
The softly softly approach of non intervention when dealing with criminals appears to be resulting in many businesses closing as the huge amount of "stock shrinkage" makes it unviable to continue trading. Now the locals are upset because many of the basic retail services in their neighbourhoods are gone.
I was on holiday in Cali about 12 years ago and didn't see any of the encampments of street shitters like you see in the media now. I'm not sure I would want to visit Cali now after hearing that the governor of San Fran has decided not to do anything about criminals. Is it a nice place to visit still? Is it safe there? From what I'm seeing on the internet I doubt it.
