"Let's also talk about creating a campaign around reducing not the crime but the fear of crime...Let's talk about that. If we, as a goal, decide that we want more people to just stop being afraid, because they're perhaps afraid of much more than they have reason to be afraid of, perhaps we can start to change the discussion about what we need to do about fear because we won't have so many people worried about the bogeyman."

More people and companies leaving by the hour.
It’s getting to be where the border will need to run from South Padre Island, Texas to Vancouver, British Columbia
Guess people and jobs ain’t fleeing the state fast enough for ‘em.
Here’s another speaker willing to ask for more Gov’t: (surprised anyone?)
“So is there a way for us to talk about not left versus right, not nanny state versus Robocop state, but getting the government on the side of the people who are tying to solve the problems, who need a partner to solve those problems well? Is that a rhetorical strategy that can then let us talk to ordinary people about the results that we want (safe, healthy communities, et cetera) and the strategies get there (public-private community partnerships) that doesn’t put on the side of frankly discredited ideas of government largesse, which actually never had?”

Personally,I think that two hundred years of making laws ought to mean they're about done,and should be going back getting rid of old laws that are stupid and anti-American.
That will incentivize investors to buy properties for rental.... not!
Is this crazy talk or what? Coming from an ex San Francisco DA, I’m not suprised. Her job in S-F was probably more about “Social Justice” than prosecuting actual criminal acts.
They continue to ‘Get something done’. Things will noy get better until we elect people to get a lot of somethings undone.
Everyone want to speak of “individual freedom” but a “free individual” is what scares the hell out of of them...then the laws come out!

I predict an epidemic of physically incapacitated prisoners coming up.
I have an uncle serving life without parole in a CA prison. Considering all the schemes he's hatched to try to get out, I have no doubt whatsoever that he'll be working on becoming "incapacitated" ASAP so he can get out. That should scare anyone.
Apart from true crimes such as murder, robbery, et al, every law should have a 10-year shelf life. After that, it has to be revoted on or allowed to die a peaceful death.
Bloggers oughta learn how to spell or get outa the business.
The comments are great. “God has fewer laws than California.”
Thanks drpix.
How shall the Republic perish?
It shall crumble from within.
I think 725 new laws is down from the normal 1125 per year...
It’s getting to the point where conservatives will have to make hard decisions or just be considered weak. Quit California and move out of the state (mass boycott) or shutup. democrats wanted to boycott az, well let’s show them what will happen if conservatives leave, they will have no one to pay for the 80% of vermin living in the trash heap.
