Jesse Arm(@Jesse_Leg):Hello California! We’re back for Part II! Last week, @christopherrufo and I introduced you to 19 Los Angeles voters who were deeply frustrated with their city—but largely unwilling to reconsider the politics that helped produce its problems. This week, we turn to 19 San Franciscans. They described many of the same problems—but also a city they believe is finally turning a corner, and showed considerably more openness to the reform-oriented politics producing that change. Our latest @ManhattanInst focus group for @CityJournal, with a breakdown below. 🧵
