"Worker friendly" my @ss!!! All it does is drive up the cost of employment, which means employers create fewer jobs. And we wouldn't need $8 an hour minimum wages (or higher in places like SF) if there was actually a concerted effort to actually BUILD some housing so that supply and demand would come into balance (and hence, keep rents in line with incomes).

For the record: several CHP officers live here in Arizona. One is in Lake Havasu City and another lives S of Bullhead City.

In all fairness: the Highway Patrol has limited jurisdiction (40-50 miles) over here and our Arizona DPS also has limited powers over in California.
