To the editor: Mark Z. Barabak’s glorious column about Gov. Gavin Newsom’s presidential prospects nonetheless neglects his most weak Achilles’ heel: the dual blades of homelessness and housing prices (“If Gavin Newsom wants to be president, he’s got work to do — starting at home,” Could 8). He’s had six years and a legislative supermajority in addition and I can’t, for the lifetime of me, see any progress on both entrance. Sen. Adam Schiff not too long ago urged Democrats to be the get together that solves the nation’s housing scarcity, an exhortation of which I approve wholeheartedly. But when Newsom couldn’t do it right here, why on the planet would anybody suppose he can on the nationwide degree?
