Gavin Newsom showed up Thursday with a clean-up crew and vowed action. "What has happened on this stretch of the Union Pacific Railroad is unacceptable," Newsom told reporters. He said the area looked like a scene from "a Third World country," according to FOX 11 of Los Angeles. But Republicans and others have argued that progressive state policies such as zero-cash bail for lower-level offenses have made crime worse. In December, Newsom proposed his Real Public Safety Plan, which included steps for addressing rail thefts, FOX 11 reported.
