Some San Franciscans who voted at City Hall this morning blame Chesa Boudin for the conditions they see in their neighborhoods. Others are fed up with the recall altogether, calling it a “waste of time and money' and a distraction from the real issues.
Appearing on the ballot are propositions that cover almost a third of the alphabet. They involve everything from upgrades to the city’s transportation infrastructure and victim and witness services to oversight of Recology and public health emergency leave.
“It is a waste of time and money. Boudin can’t do his job if he is campaigning to prevent his own recall all the time,” said voter Kelly L., who had just dropped off his vote-by-mail ballot at the City Hall Voting Center. “It’s clear that I voted no… but I do think the recall will succeed.” But a recent Examiner poll revealed that Boudin has lost favor with the public, 56% of whom support the recall and 49% of whom believe that crime has increased in San Francisco in part because Boudin is not prosecuting enough crimes. All in all, it seems the tide of public opinion is no longer on the side of criminal justice reform.
“I know it’s not all his fault because of the pandemic, but it’s because he refuses prosecution that crime has been further encouraged,” Wakeline said. “There are so many car break-ins, house break-ins and stolen bicycles. No one can afford a brand new bicycle every other week but that truly happens to some of us, and it’s terrible. He needs to take responsibility for that.”
