‘People Are Angry’: Spencer Pratt Surging On Election Day

Putnam’s company, which he has run for 40 years, is based near downtown Los Angeles.

“It costs so much to operate a business here,” Putnam said. “Out of 250 cities that were surveyed a few years ago, Santa Monica came in number one of being the most expensive place to do business and that’s because of all the regulation, all the other aspects.”

“There’s all sorts of stats, it’s worse, everyone’s trying to sugar coat it in different ways, but the stats are out there, they’re saying crime is down, I think violent crime is down across the country, but all this petty stuff is happening,” Putnam said.

“People are feeling left out, they’re not feeling like they’re being helped,” Putnam said.
