Los Angeles is run by democrats. It therefore has the pleasure of being one of the worst cities in America. In other words, another demorat-run failed city.
The streets of Los Angeles
It’s a combination we typically see in blue cities: high crime (some data suggests that Los Angeles is more dangerous than before the Wuhan virus outbreak and lockdowns), rampant homlessness (despite spending billions of dollars), and open drug use on the city streets (in particular, fentanyl pouring across our open southern border).
LA County DA George Gascon (demorat)
Throw into the mix a Soros-funded district attorney, George Gascón. There was a second effort to recall him last year, which failed due to 27% of the signatures being invalid. (Funny how demorats care about signature validation when it affects one of their own).
The final touch? Proposition 47, which basically allows shoplifting $950 worth of merchandise with no consequences. Also, Los Angeles has a zero cash bail policy now, too. You’ve got the perfect recipe for a failed city!
And there are plenty of criminals willing to take advantage of the democrat policies that plague Los Angeles. Case in point:
Gascon speaks at the 0:48 mark: “…and we will use every tool available under law when there is an arrest made.”
Quite the qualifier there. LAPD says that last year, only about one quarter of these “smash and grab” robberies led to an arrest. Again, they are very careful with their statements. How many of these arrests actually led to a prosecution and conviction?
I sound like a broken record here but when are voters going to realize the obvious?
DCG
One cannot but feel extreme hopelessness when we see one after another large urban cities that are controlled by Democrats fail and turn into $h*t holes. I think that those who have the money–turn and leave. Then these cities are left with the specter of having reduced tax revenues to run these cesspools.
