Gov. Gavin Newsom has recently taken to boasting that California is a true bastion of freedom, unlike Republican states. So, what freedoms do Californians enjoy that they should be so proud of are protected by state Democrats?
How about the freedom to solicit “sex work” outside a grade school?
Local news outlets in East Oakland have captured
videos
showing young women, suspected to be prostitutes, soliciting work right across the street from a Catholic grade school. Some police officers believe the women may be trafficked, and parents say that the women are there at all hours of the day, with videos showing them soliciting near the school during pick-up and drop-off hours for children.

This is one of the cherished freedoms that California has set out to protect, though. “Loitering with the intent to engage in prostitution” used to be illegal in California, but state Democrats changed that,
because
it “disproportionately results in the criminalization of transgender people and communities of color.”
The main driver of that change, the ever-toxic state Sen. Scott Wiener, said that police can still do something about this — they can issue traffic citations to cars that stop in the middle of the street, solving the problem of scantily clad (and sometimes naked) prostitutes using a school as their home base for prostitution.
San Francisco neighborhoods have the same problem, with residents
reporting
“gunshots, fights, and alleged prostitution” at all hours, right on the sidewalks and crosswalks outside of their homes. This is what California’s mix of inclusivity and “freedom” looks like in practice.
This is just the latest in a long list of entries of California making life more miserable for everyday citizens on behalf of criminals and “inclusivity.” “Quality of life” crimes no longer exist in California, and neither does a
reasonable
quality of life.
