Sacramento County district attorney Thien Ho is determined to prevent California’s state capital from becoming another San Francisco, a city held hostage by left-wing ideologues who give free rein to the homeless. He’s filing a lawsuit against the city of Sacramento for creating a public-safety crisis and then ignoring it for years.

The number of homeless in Sacramento has increased by over 250 percent in the past seven years. “There are more homeless people in Sacramento than San Francisco,” he said at a press conference last week. San Francisco has 716,000 people, and Sacramento has only 528,000 people.
