I actually remember Newsom's Gay Marriage Gambit as a pretty savvy move to consolidate the city behind him after a divisive election (and I definitely didn't vote for him in that one).
But he will not be as competent as Brown, that's for sure. Hopefully it will be enough.

Surprising revelation from @GavinNewsom, former 2-term Mayor of SF: he hasn’t read #PropC and has no opinion on it. Tax tech to help homeless? No view. Not even in the abstract. “I haven’t read it.” pic.twitter.com/0RpAbozJFA— Doug Sovern (@SovernNation) October 30, 2018

possibly thanks to this kind of nonsense (the same people will tell you that prop 10 will result in fewer houses being built. pick a side people!)
silver linings though:

all the bonds except the admittedly slightly weird water bond passed
5 (extend limits on property tax) and 6 (remove gas tax and let the state fall apart) failed :-(
rent control wasn't even close though :-(
the charter guy is winning superintendent of public instruction but it's close and has not been called yet
kounalakis won lieutenant gov. did anyone have a strong opinion about that one? neither seems like particularly promising future governers.
looks like la county is about to vote out the sheriff for the first time in 100+ years. the replacement has the support of the LASD rank and file which is huge fucking red flag, but he ran on a "get ICE out of LA jails" platform (LASD runs the county jails).
la city public bank failed :-(
the NRA-sponsored judge lost in LA county :-)
proposition C passed though and by a lot1

Looks like the one District I was focusing on (10 - Harder vs. Denham) might still be too close to call, last time I checked the results were w/in 1,000 votes.
Looks like Rohrabacher is out though, which is awesome

The LA podcast today is a post mortem of the election and also the fact that one of our councilmen Jose huizar was raided by the FBI the morning after. De Leon is a future mayoral candidate and was state senator for the district that covers the council district. They’re speculating and repeating rumours that de Leon will run for this seat then mayor (he would walk both races, and in some ways LA council is a promotion from state senate).

Also they make the point that running a state ballot measure for rent control, rather than incremental and local changes where costa Hawkins and local circumstances allow it (which is a few cities in socal, not sure about up north), was a major tactical error. (Largely made by noted LA crank and AHF syphilis invasion billboard guy Michael Weinstein).

I would be surprised if San Francisco didn't have the strongest tenant protections in the state. Berkeley has some, as do Oakland, and some smaller Bay Area cities.
― sarahell, Friday, 9 November 2018 01:00 (five years ago) link
Right but the way Costa Hawkins work affects a city’s ability to vote to expand the rent control aspect of those protections in weird/complex ways. Prop 5 would have repealed costa Hawkins, but some city’s still have wiggle room. I’d be surprised if sf wasn’t already it it’s limits.
