It may be tempting to make too much of what happened Tuesday in California\u2019s two most prominent cities, San Francisco and Los Angeles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Right-wing media are screaming that the overwhelming recall of San Francisco\u2019s uber-progressive district attorney, Chesa Boudin, and businessman Rick Caruso\u2019s top finish in a field of 12 candidates for mayor bodes well for a Republican comeback in this deep blue state.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s not going to happen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, it\u2019s also tempting to make too little of Tuesday\u2019s voting patterns in those two cities. Progressives rationalize Boudin\u2019s ouster and Caruso\u2019s strong finish as attempts by the Trumpian right to seize control. In fact Boudin tried, and failed, to make that case to his city\u2019s voters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather, both outcomes reflect legitimate concerns by voters, including those who consider themselves to be left-of-center Democrats, that the quality of life in both cities has deteriorated and that their elected leaders have failed to recognize and confront that fact.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deterioration is especially stark in San Francisco with rampant drug use that is taking a heavy toll on human life, squalid camps of the homeless dominating city sidewalks and a wave of burglaries and smash-and-grab robberies that goes unpunished.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Writer Nellie Bowles vividly captures the San Francisco crisis and why ordinarily progressive San Franciscans became disgusted in a lengthy article <\/a>that Atlantic magazine published today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey did it because (Boudin) didn\u2019t seem to care that he was making the citizens of our city miserable in service of an ideology that made sense everywhere but in reality,\u201d Bowles wrote. \u201cIt\u2019s not just about Boudin, though. There is a sense that, on everything from housing to schools, San Francisco has lost the plot \u2014 that progressive leaders here have been LARPing left-wing values instead of working to create a livable city. And many San Franciscans have had enough.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bowles noted that Boudin\u2019s recall was foretold by the recall of San Francisco school board members who were preoccupied with symbolic acts of political correctness, such as changing the names on school buildings while ignoring the effects of school closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI used to tell myself that San Francisco\u2019s politics were wacky but the city was trying \u2014 really trying \u2014 to be good,\u201d she wrote. \u201cBut the reality is that with the smartest minds and so much money and the very best of intentions, San Francisco became a cruel city. It became so dogmatically progressive that maintaining the purity of the politics required accepting \u2014 or at least ignoring \u2014 devastating results.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Boudin himself came close to acknowledging why he lost, albeit with a tinge of rationalization, telling the San Francisco Chronicle, \u201cVoters were not given an opportunity to choose between criminal justice reform and something else. They were given an opportunity to voice their frustrations and their outrage and they took that opportunity.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

What about Los Angeles?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It has suffered from the same chronic problems that plague San Francisco and a political leadership that has been equally ineffective in dealing with them. Caruso, a very wealthy shopping center developer, tapped into widespread frustration, particularly about crime, in a deluge of self-financed media ads.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Los Angeles\u2019 notoriously low voter turnout also helped Caruso garner more than 40% of Tuesday\u2019s vote, topping Congresswoman Karen Bass, the candidate of the city\u2019s Democratic leadership, by several points.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, with neither getting a majority, they are headed for a runoff in the November election, when turnout will be higher. That will be a truer test of whether Angelenos are ready for the change that Republican-turned-Democrat Caruso promises but Bass and her supporters shouldn\u2019t ignore the quality-of-life backlash.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"

He began covering California politics in 1975, just as Jerry Brown began his first stint as governor, and began writing his column in 1981, first for the Sacramento Union for three years, then for The Sacramento Bee for 33 years and now for CalMatters since 2017. Dan is also the author or co-author of two books about California, \u201cThe New California: Facing the 21st Century\u201d and \u201cThe Third House: Lobbyists, Money and Power in Sacramento.\u201d He is a frequent radio show guest and occasionally appears on national television, commenting on California issues. Walters began his career in 1960 at the Humboldt Times in Eureka, California, a month before his 17th birthday, first as a newsroom aide and later as a police beat reporter. Having found his calling, he not only turned down a National Merit college scholarship but dropped out of high school, lacking one required class \u2013 ironically civics \u2013 to qualify for a diploma. Before moving to Sacramento to cover politics, he was the managing editor of three small daily newspapers. He has two adult daughters and three grandsons.","sameAs":["https:\/\/x.com\/DanCALmatters"],"birthDate":"1943-10-10","gender":"Male","jobTitle":"Columnist","worksFor":"CalMatters.org","url":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_ko\/author\/dan-walters\/"}]}},"parsely":{"version":"1.1.0","canonical_url":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_ko\/commentary\/2022\/06\/voters-in-sf-and-la-voice-their-disgust\/","smart_links":{"inbound":0,"outbound":0},"traffic_boost_suggestions_count":0,"meta":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","headline":"Voters in SF and LA voice their disgust","url":"http:\/\/calmatters.org\/_ko\/commentary\/2022\/06\/voters-in-sf-and-la-voice-their-disgust\/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"http:\/\/calmatters.org\/_ko\/commentary\/2022\/06\/voters-in-sf-and-la-voice-their-disgust\/"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calmatters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/ThinkstockPhotos-511866080-e1521739926935.jpg?resize=60%2C60&ssl=1","image":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calmatters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/ThinkstockPhotos-511866080-e1521739926935.jpg?fit=1280%2C661&ssl=1"},"articleSection":"Dan Walters","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"\ub304 \uc6d4\ud130\uc2a4"}],"creator":["Dan Walters"],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"\uce7c\ub9e4\ud130\uc2a4","logo":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/07\/calmatters-logo_2x.png"},"keywords":["commentary"],"dateCreated":"2022-06-08T17:40:41Z","datePublished":"2022-06-08T17:40:41Z","dateModified":"2022-06-08T17:40:54Z"},"rendered":"<meta name=\"parsely-title\" content=\"Voters in SF and LA voice their disgust\" \/>\n<meta name=\"parsely-link\" content=\"http:\/\/calmatters.org\/_ko\/commentary\/2022\/06\/voters-in-sf-and-la-voice-their-disgust\/\" \/>\n<meta name=\"parsely-type\" content=\"post\" \/>\n<meta name=\"parsely-image-url\" content=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calmatters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/ThinkstockPhotos-511866080-e1521739926935.jpg?resize=60%2C60&ssl=1\" \/>\n<meta name=\"parsely-pub-date\" content=\"2022-06-08T17:40:41Z\" \/>\n<meta name=\"parsely-section\" content=\"Dan Walters\" \/>\n<meta name=\"parsely-tags\" content=\"commentary\" \/>\n<meta name=\"parsely-author\" content=\"Dan Walters\" \/>","tracker_url":"https:\/\/cdn.parsely.com\/keys\/calmatters.org\/p.js"},"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/calmatters.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/03\/ThinkstockPhotos-511866080-e1521739926935.jpg?fit=1280%2C661&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/249700","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/73"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=249700"}],"version-history":[{"count":5,"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/249700\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":249748,"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/249700\/revisions\/249748"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/47029"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=249700"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=249700"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=249700"},{"taxonomy":"legislator","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/legislator?post=249700"},{"taxonomy":"bill","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/bill?post=249700"},{"taxonomy":"newspack_spnsrs_tax","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/newspack_spnsrs_tax?post=249700"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/calmatters.org\/_ko\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=249700"}],"curies":[{"name":"\uc6cc\ub4dc\ud504\ub808\uc2a4","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
