What I've found is that cities that are run by statist Democrats will do any trick they can to obfuscate and hide as much data as they can, under any law or ruling they feel appropriate for. Data should be open and transparent? Both parties are against that, but its the Democrats who'll deceive and confuse, and still not open data.

We saw this with NYC before Mamdani.

Ive seen this play out anywhere that FLOCK is being challenged.

And, well, LA.

It's not a coincidence. More crime means more votes. Create the problem and sell you the solution that's just out of reach. "$NEW_GUY's plan will take effect immediately after election. He will work tirelessly to solve $PROBLEM (we created), unlike $BAD_GUY (who promised the same thing 4 years ago), whose tired old policies are no good for $GEOGRAPHIC_AREA. Vote smart, vote $GOOD_GUY $YEAR. Paid for by the committee to elect $GOOD_GUY."
