[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote]he decriminalized fare evasion on metro. This led to a general state of lawlessness on the metro with people of all stripes jumping the fare gates and metro losing a ton of money.[/quote]

11-2 vote, Mendo and Jack Evans voted no.

[quote]he loudly supported and voted to decriminalize street vending. This has led to people ransacking stores and selling stolen goods on the street. My local stores now have a majority of their products behind glass. Now when I go into a CVS in the city, I have to wait around for someone to unlock the shampoo.[/quote]

Passed unanimously

[quote]using budgetary control, he implemented a hiring freeze on new police officers. This resulted in police numbers dropping dramatically and led to a spike in crime. Then he bragged about it on Twitter: https://twitter.com/charlesallen/status/1277421585993994243[/quote]

Passed unamimously. No member introduced an amendment to rollback the reallocations made in the public safety and justice budget.[/quote]

It's like you think because there are other people making bad decisions, I shouldn't be upset that my own Councilmember is making bad decisions.  I live in Ward 6.  I only get one Councilmember, and he's not doing his most basic job of trying to keep his constituents safe.  First his supporters said his voting record was "misrepresented" and now you're saying "oh but other people voted for those things as well."    For me, the fact that there are other people who are ALSO not doing their job doesn't make a lick of difference. [/quote]

Well, you asked for explanations and I did so. Now you are making a separate argument, to which I would argue yes, you have more than one CM. Voting 1 out will do nothing to change your safety, but it will cost the city more money than just waiting until the next election. You all don't even have a candidate so it just seems like a vendetta rather than anything that will actually help the city.[/quote]
