    This isn’t communism and social programs are a net positive in the long run. California is doing fine.

          They let people use drugs outside and didn’t crack down on shoplifting or people breaking into cars

            Do you think drug users should be in prison? Wage theft is greater than all other theft, combined. Do you think its a better use of limited police resources to go after shoplifters instead of following up on the millions of sexual assault cases?

            Hint: its not the leftist policy that damaged communities to the extent people turn to drug use, nor is it leftist policy that left people poor and/or disenfranchised by society test they turn to petty theft.

              No, but they should not be able to use in public. Who said anything about prison? Other cities have been able to keep them off the streets just fine.

              Just because wage theft is a problem, doesn’t mean petty theft is not a problem. While they are stealing a $100 tablet, they might break your car window that costs $300 to repair. How is this not something that the police should take care of?
