There is no real crime wave in NYC, despite what the Murdoch fake news machine wants the deplorables to believe. And thankfully, we don’t allow the easily swayed voting rabble as much power as in CA — recall isn’t really a thing in Eastern states.

Agreed that there needs to be a happy medium. Go after the serial thieves, the violent crims, but leave victimless crimes like personal use of drugs and sex work between consenting adults the hell out of it.
PS – and Chesa Boudin likely had the last laugh … he did what he set out to accomplish. Amass enough political clout to get his father out of prison. He’ll leverage his career as DA into a lucrative career, either as a defense attorney or as a media commentator, if not both.
