Lee’s day job does not included managing homelessness

The mayors of San Francisco and San Jose, respectively Daniel Lurie and Matt Mahan, have been extraordinarily active on the homelessness front. Almost every night sees one or both of them in the news, announcing a new plan or citing some new statistics. While their impact on the actual crisis is still to be determined, at the very least they’re letting voters know they’re involved and they care.

Redistricting California

I have urged Gov. Newsom in the strongest terms to put a redistricting initiative on the next available State ballot. My understanding from the news is that it’s not possible to do this in California (the way it is in Texas) without the voters’ express approval. However, based on my research, this is not so much a matter of law so much as of custom.
