Local governments, not Gov. Gavin Newsom, increased homelessness in California to its all-time high, he says. Nonsense. As SF mayor, he enabled addiction, crime & homelessness. As governor, he spent $37B to increase it by 24%, and raise violent crime to 31% over national average

The statement is part of a public discourse criticizing a political figure, Gavin Newsom, for his policies on homelessness and crime. It attributes negative outcomes directly to his actions as governor and mayor, using strong language and specific statistics to support the claims.

  1. Principle 1:
    I will strive to do no harm with my words and actions.
    The statement uses strong language that could be seen as harmful, attributing blame directly to an individual without acknowledging broader systemic issues. [-1]
  2. Principle 2:
    I will respect the privacy and dignity of others and will not engage in cyberbullying, harassment, or hate speech.
    The statement does not engage in hate speech but could be seen as lacking respect for the dignity of the individual being criticized. [-1]
  3. Principle 4:
    I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
    The statement does not engage in constructive dialogue and focuses on personal attacks rather than policy analysis. [-2]
