Earlier this week there was a forum in the Mission Hills area of San Diego. This forum was held because of an increasing problem with homeless in that area. For those of you not familiar with San Diego, Mission Hills is an upper middle class neighborhood just north of San Diego Bay. The approximately 150 people that packed the meeting hall were both angry and scared, as not only had the numbers of homeless significantly increased in their neighborhood, but they were also becoming more aggressive, harassing individuals, going through trash cans, and urinating and defecating in public. Life has changed in Mission Hills as parents are now afraid to let their children play in the local park, and older residents are afraid to walk their dogs at night. The San Diego Police Department spokesman at the meeting thought that this increasing problem was the result of Proposition 47, which “has led to more homeless drug addicts and fewer people going into treatment.”
“The Mission Hills Problem” . . . For Dummies
Welcome to the new normal in California cities!
For those of you not familiar with Proposition 47, it was passed in 2014, and recently when it was supposed to expire, Democratic Governor Jerry Brown extended its deadline to November, 2022. It reclassified many non-violent crimes from felonies to misdemeanors, not only prospectively, but also retrospectively from its passage in 2014. (FYI: In the 13 months after the passage of Proposition 47, 200,000 petitioned for re-sentencing or applied for reclassification! . . . not 200 or 2,000 but 200,000!!!) Prior to its passage in 2014, it was supported by the California Democratic Party and also by the A.C.L.U. (The A.C.L.U. to the tune of $3.5 million!) Although I suppose that it should be pretty obvious, Proposition 47 was also supported by the editorial board of both the New York Times and the L.A. Times. It was originally titled “The Safe Neighborhood and Schools Act,” by then California Attorney General, Kamala Harris, now U.S. Senator Kamala Harris (D, Ca). (You actually have to hand it to the Democrats as they are wizards at naming things exactly the opposite of what they really are, e.g. The Affordable Care Act, which made medical care less affordable!) Anyway this misleading name probably played a significant role in persuading dumbass Californians to vote for its passage . . . after all who could vote against something which would make both the schools and the neighborhoods safer?
Ask the residents of Mission Hills if it has made their neighborhood safer!
This Mission Hills-type problem is but one of the numerous unintended consequences of Prop 47 (“unintended consequences galore” as pointed out in the National Review on Jan. 30, 2018 – for those of you who are more interested in this, I would encourage reading that National Review article).
To the residents of Mission Hills, I recommend that you to reread the last paragraph, as it is the usual cast of characters that have escorted you to the precipice. The California liberals do not seem to have the words, “unintended consequences” in their vernacular, nor do not have either the wherewithal or the desire to see that these “unintended consequences” are actually not unforeseen.
To all of the residents of California, “Wake up!” (“Despertarse!”). If you continue to elect these liberal Democrat politicians, you too will be led, like lemmings, to the precipice, and “the Mission Hills problem” will be coming to a neighborhood near you very soon!
