Our guest on this podcast is national bestselling author, Michael Shellenberger. He recently spoke to PRI supporters at a luncheon in San Francisco on his new book: San Fransicko: Why Progressives Ruin Cities. Michael has witnessed San Francisco’s decline over the past 30 years as it struggles with lawlessness, homelessness, violent crime, and drug abuse. He discusses why the policies enacted by San Francisco’s leaders have failed to manage these issues and why the progressive ideology has made the problems worse.
