   	Yes well neither prevented the housing crisis in affordability nor   
   solved the homeless problem. They also failed to reinforce all the   
   dams, bridges and highways in California against the horrible weather   
   of climate change. They did not totally solve the pollution due to   
   fracking or shut down the  Methane leaks near Los Angeles.   
   	They especially Newsom failed to overcome the pumping   
   of water from the aquifer of the Central Valley which has   
   provided the water to replace water sent to Southern California   
   to fill the swimming pools of the residents of exclusive   
   neighborhoods.   
   	The could not figure out a way to beat Trump in 2016.   
   Of course Pelosi was a congressional representative and not   
   doing much in California and Newsom was just the successor   
   to Jerry Brown who served non-consequentially 8 terms in total   
   4 in my youth and 4 in my old age. He did not make many bad   
   decisions and his career was only marred by the idea that   
     he was a good fiscally conservative Democrat.  Which   
   was the only real problem with Newsom and with Pelosi.   
      
   	But those are negligible problems.   
      
   	What has done the most to ruin California was real estate   
   promotions in the 20th Century and property speculation especially   
   in the San Francisco area. Someone failed to prevent WW II and as   
   a result many troops got to visit California and did their best   
   to move here bringing along racist attitudes from where ever they   
   came from. Then they had children raised them to adulthood and   
   they had more children and that is the root of the problems   
   of California. Too many of us love it though with the Global   
   Heating it may become much less attractive. Not to say we   
   did not have plenty of California grown racists already. The worst   
   prejudice I saw in my childhood was directed at immigrants from   
   other US States mainly Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Texas.
