Fake news, this guy was never a member of the Spin Doctors.

Usually candidates come up with at least somewhat viable promises on the campaign trail. His are just idiotic, and reek of someone who knows absolutely nothing about his prospective constituency.

Abolish the department of motor vehicles, he suggested a couple of weeks ago.

Completely impractical, and at least partially running of a trope (the CA DMV is horribly inefficient) that's be wrong for about 20 years.

Cut the price of gas to $3 a gallon.

This is something he cannot influence at all. It's a completely bullshit empty promise.

Start a new business school in working-class East Los Angeles.

I can't really comment on this one because I don't know enough about education in LA. But are there not enough business schools in LA? How will this be funded? Is this a huge educational decided?

Set up a competition among California’s 58 counties to build 10 brand-new cities from the ground up.

Setting up brand new cities requires a ridiculous amount of infrastructure planning, legal wrangling, and time. And for what? Legislation to change housing requirements would be more practical, and redistricting/adapting all the empty commercial buildings - while still very expensive - would still be cheaper and easier than constructing brand new cities from nothing.

Honestly, as a Californian, I haven't heard anything from either candidate. I live in a blue neighborhood, so it's possible they assume I'm already going to vote one way. But everyone has to earn my vote.
