Outgoing Los Angeles ( LA ) County District Attorney George Gascón's massive defeat is part of a larger realignment among voters who now believe progressive policies jeopardize public safety.

California residents voted in November to roll back portions of Proposition 47 , which lowered some theft and drug crimes from felonies to misdemeanors.

Venice Neighborhood Council Board Member Soledad Ursua told Fox News Digital that public safety is the "number one concern" for most voters in the area.

Ursua said some neighbors have decided not to report crimes because of extensive wait times when dialing the non-emergency hotline.

Ursuo said many crimes involving the destruction or stealing of property are going unsolved as police have shifted the bulk of resources to violent crime.

The force in 2023 fell to its lowest level in decades .

Despite vocal concerns about public safety, elected officials in LA are still lurching forward on a "progressive warpath".
