California voters have demonstrated that while they elect liberal Democrats, their individual beliefs on issues like crime and housing are more moderate than their representatives.
Proposition 36, emphasizing a tough-on-crime stance, passed overwhelmingly, indicating voters' frustration with crime rates and their desire for effective law enforcement.
Conversely, Propositions attempting to expand rent control, including the recent Prop. 33, have repeatedly failed, reflecting voters' concerns about impacting housing supply negatively.
The defeat of Proposition 5, which aimed to reduce local bond approval requirements, also highlights a tendency among California voters to resist high taxes and fiscal overreach.
