Homeless encampments, like this one along a street in downtown Los Angeles has voters upset.
Urban beat: The Voter Revolt
“Voters have had enough of ‘progressive’ leaders who are presiding over spiraling violence and crime,” declares Spiked’s Joel Kotkin. The “revolt brewing” sees a big test Tuesday in Los Angeles’ mayoral primary, which will likely “lead to a head-to-head between moderate billionaire developer Rick Caruso and progressive congressperson Karen Bass, once considered a potential vice-president for Joe Biden.” Progressive San Francisco DA Chesa Boudin faces a recall vote the same day. Disgust at how cities have become “centers for homelessness, open drug markets and incubators of all sorts of diseases” has brought the “rise of moderate opposition to progressivism, in the form of Rick Caruso, Eric Adams and others,” providing “hope that the urban core can reinvent itself as a viable place for new investment and families.”
