This is happening bc of SCOTUS decision finding a NY law unconstitutional- that law like CA’s, required concealed carry applicants to show “good cause” for needing a concealed firearm. Now, sheriffs have less discretion cities like SF have approved licenses for 1st time in years

Bill will require more training, licensees to be age 21, and creates “sensitive areas” where concealed weapons are banned including schools, sporting events and ANYWHERE alcohol is sold

I've seen some tweets claiming that property crime in S.F. has spiked under DA Brooke Jenkins.
As I've written before, DAs really don't seem to have major effects on crime prevalence — I said this when people dunked on Boudin, and it's only fair to point it out for Jenkins too.

I followed on a sort of poverty tour from Antioch to Fresno and LA. Everywhere, the stories were the same: living in poverty is exhausting and the safety net is a tricky game in which a misstep can mean homelessness in an instant.

It's not the flush times of his first term but says he his new budget will won't hurt too much -- and he wants to avoid dipping into state reserves for now
California needs a warrior in the Senate—to stand up to special interests, fight the dangerous imbalance in our economy, and hold so-called leaders like Mitch McConnell accountable for rigging our democracy.
Today, I'm proud to announce my candidacy for the U.S. Senate in 2024.
