I recall reading the newspaper in San Diego back in the 90s and they
were beating the drum for more city government money by putting
articles in the newspaper about how the legal system/jails were so
backlogged that they weren't prosecuting burglary cases anymore.

Sounded like the usual San Diego politics. The mayor just resigned
recently. Probably needed to be hung ;)
