John Phillips: More booze won’t save California’s downtowns

3 weeks ago | redlandsdailyfacts.com | John Phillips

California Assemblyman Matt Haney wants to bring life back to downtowns across the state of California…by allowing bars and nightclubs to serve alcohol until 4 am, two hours past the current cutoff at 2 am. Don’t look now, but I think the assemblyman may have been over-served. The extended times would apply only to venues within locally-defined “hospitality zones” on Fridays, Saturdays, and official state holidays.

At this point, it’s obvious to anyone paying attention that Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass bungled the response to the devastating wildfires that wiped out much of the Pacific Palisades, about as badly as any politician could screw up any natural disaster that happened on their watch. If Los Angeles is our ship of state, Karen Bass is Captain of the Titanic.

In the wake of the recent round of fires that have proven to be the costliest blazes in the history of the United States, the state of California should take a critical look at all of the policies that led up to the fires, and all of the policies that impacted our response to them, as well. Nothing should be off the table.

Los Angeles is a Democrat-run city, with a Democrat mayor, not a single Republican on the City Council, and a dominant Democrat Party that decides which candidates get the official blessing and which ones get cast out to the wilderness. LA’s version of ideological diversity is a healthy mix of left-wingers, far-left nut jobs, and Nithya Raman.
