There's a very specific reason for the high wait times at the CA DMV right now - the new ID requirements forced upon us by the TSA. CA had to decide if they wanted to massively staff up to handle the increased processing required, or if they wanted to just work through the surge since it's temporary (once everyone has a new ID, the renewals will be easier). I wouldn't say there's no accountability. They just didn't make the decision you wanted.
