So it wasn't such a good idea after all, huh?

SAN JOSE, Calif. (KGO) -- A dramatic change of thinking Thursday for leaders, who originally supported a measure to reduce prison overcrowding.

The mayors of San Francisco and San Jose are among those who say Prop 47 has caused more harm than good.

Approved in 2014, Prop 47 aimed to lower the prison population by reducing most drug possession offenses and thefts of property valued under $950 from felonies to misdemeanors.

    It's astonishing how many problems occur "unexpectedly" after legislation that most of us can see is stupid from the beginning.

    Empty the jails. Another case of "feel good, virtue signaling"? or a page from the Cloward–Piven strategy to destroy America. I'm going with the 2nd option and shooting traitors.

    Unintended Consequences are too often the outcome of Liberal policies.

      A slight correction, if I may:
      Unintended Consequences are ALWAYS the outcome of Liberal policies.
