    And Seattle can now re elect the idiots behind it

    Even in a progressive, liberal oasis, you can have tax revolts if the high earners and businesses get sick of repeated shakedowns.

    The national party realizes this which is why Obama was the President of the 1% and the evil W tax cuts quietly stayed on the books

    A guy who came in on Occupy Wall Street, left touting the stock market as his finest economic achievement



    Yep. Definitely not your Daddy's Democratic Party.

    Well for 1 that's Santa Ana, they are getting to experience the same problems that Seattle/LA have for the same reasons. If you cater to the homeless, you get more homeless.

    Thankfully, Huntington Beach put a kibosh on the county's plans to "relocate" those people to a "temporary" shelter in HB.

    Santa Ana actually just got done clearing the very encampment pictured. They have nowhere to send these people though and aren't willing to "put them out on the street". Sucks for their liberal politicians that created the problem in the first place.

    Just to be clear, I support people with mental health issues getting help through projects like half-way homes etc. Last I read from the local newspapers, that's about 15% or less of this homeless population though. The vast majority are either criminals or drug addicts, or both(in this population subset). I have anecdotally known several people that lived there that conform to this. People who grew up with ample opportunities and wealth who prefer to spend their time smoking meth instead of anything else.
