      Yes, many Democrats are accusing him of not being a progressive, but I think Mahan is the better centrist.

        Mahan is being supported by Silicon Valley tech billionaires. That should disqualify him immediately. He’s a big supporter of AI and wants to put AI into healthcare and education. He talks a lot about building housing, but it’s all public-private partnerships that have historically been free money for developers instead of solving the problem. He talks about addressing homelessness, but he’s moved money away from the solution, which is government affordable housing, and into temporary interim housing, which is a short term bandaid.

          There is nothing wrong with being supported by Silicon Valley businesses. California has to be business friendly. AI is the future. It has to be supported. There’s not going to be sufficient government affordable housing to house the number of homeless because building the government housing is expensive. Interim housing is the best solution. I would use tents for the interim housing. It would provide cheap and safe housing.
