Belieb dat.
Well, whatever you subsidise, you will get more of. So if you pay gang members for not committing crimes, by theory you will get a lot more gang members who aren't. How you will arrive there is the important question. It will be a hell of a lot easier to recruit new gang members if they can promise such an outcome, that's for sure.Haumana wrote:That is the conclusion we arrived at over on the Facebag group too, essentially it is triage. Which is a bit of a sad statement in itself. Waiting to see what the actual ROI for this carrot. Safe money would have to assume that the majority of the target audience is already receiving public tax dollars, so in one way this is like giving them two scoops of ice cream so they don't shoot anyone.California wrote: As ridiculous as the policy sounds, it probably is cheaper for the taxpayer in the long run when you save on police OT, court costs, prison/jail costs, etc.

Hence, my skepticism at encouraging this notion under the guise of short term monetary gains. Good news is that my tax dollars won't be contributing to this Kooky California much longer. I get to go learn a different game of goofy statehood spending over on the Big Island.Hastur wrote: Well, whatever you subsidise, you will get more of.

To me it sounds like decriminalization of protection racketeering against the state. "Would be a shame if violence broke out downtown, right? For the right sum we can make sure it doesn't happen".
Man I'd love to move to the Big Island, but that would take a new career path and I don't know how well 2 blond kids would do in the schools there. Good luck manHaumana wrote:Hence, my skepticism at encouraging this notion under the guise of short term monetary gains.

Once Gavin grabs the helm who knows what will be in store for this state. He is probably the most well polished and ambitious politician who has toyed with a national presence but has had his eye on the Presidency since he got appointed to the SF parking commission in the mid 90's. Dude just reeks of a smarmy bullshitter who has taken the art of virtue signaling to the next level.

I can't believe I used to like Gavin Newsome
Uncle Gary is great. I've listened to him on and off for literally my whole lifeHaumana wrote:California wrote: Man I'd love to move to the Big Island, but that would take a new career path and I don't know how well 2 blond kids would do in the schools there. Good luck man

Thanks. If I wasn't married to a Polynesian I am not sure I would be making this leap. Toss in two towhead haoles still in school.....
I remember Gary Radnich, local sports tv and radio guy in San Fran, used to bag on Gavin all the time. Calling him out on his over manicured personality and his marriage for the image that secured him the mayorship. At least Willy Brown would make you laugh while he was lying to you.
I haven't listened to him in years but who can't like a guy who does his sports casts in a blazer while wearing shorts and flip flops because he is behind a desk?California wrote: Uncle Gary is great. I've listened to him on and off for literally my whole life

The City Council in Sacramento, Calif. last week unanimously approved the controversial "Advance Peace" program, through which the city offers cash stipends to gang members who remain peaceful.

You know what they say “As California goes, so goes the nation.”
