Gavin Newsom on Affordability#shorts #comedy #satire #gavinnewsom #impression #impersonation

The issue of affordability is very real. It's very personal to me. I think back to my childhood when we would take vacations several a year and almost every time without fail, my mother would forget to bring my boat shoes and we'd have to buy a new pair at on location on site. We would do everything we could do. We work with local and state officials to make sure they could find me a new pair of boat shoes because we would take the yacht out and we would start fishing. And sometimes uh bait was an issue. You know, we would use different types of bait and it would take a little while to catch fish, especially because it was deep sea. You know, we'd have sometimes nannies that couldn't join us for these vacations. We'd bring one or two, but not the usual three and four that my mother required in order to uh assist with the family. Uh there are many instances growing up, many different occasions where uh uh we we wouldn't have the resources that we would need to uh sustain the lifestyle that we had. It was very difficult. Even when we go out to restaurants a couple times a week, sometimes going to the restaurants, uh, if the reservations were full, we'd have to wait 10 or 15 minutes to get a reservation at the local French steakhouse. Uh, and, uh, you know, I didn't even like steak as a child, so I'd have to get the chicken. It was very, very difficult to do that. Uh, they would have a kids meal, but it wasn't always available readily, and waiting for those meals to show up and arrive as we waited 10, sometimes 15 minutes for for the reservation. um you know we weren't always able to rent out the entire restaurant even though on occasion we could it wasn't always an option and so it was very difficult so this issue of affordability is is very real to me I mean sometimes we were living on maybe two to three million a month there's barely enough to cover the yacht fuel costs
