Are you willing to vote for bonds to build new prisons for them? == "When that happens, even you will wonder why the richest state in the union could ever allow this? How could the richest country in the history of the world allow it? == "The issue is that the left doesn't prioritize the safety of the public." And yet, it's the left that's trying to find solutions to homelessness, and it's the right that is soft on public safety. Go figure.
