Joel Kotkin critiques the current progressive leadership in California, indicating that their focus on social justice over essential public services has led to infrastructure failures, particularly evident in the response to the LA wildfires.
Kotkin highlights the failure of LA Mayor Karen Bass, pointing out how her administration prioritized cutting budgets for essential services like the fire department while focusing on less critical issues.
Gavin Newsom, as the governor of California, is criticized for inadequate responses to the state's persistent drought challenges, which directly affect emergency preparedness for disasters like wildfires.
The need for a pragmatic approach in governance is emphasized, advocating for a new mindset among politicians that prioritizes infrastructural development and emergency readiness over ideological pursuits.
