San Fransicko: Why Progressives Ruin Cities

Michael Shellenberger critiques progressive policies in West Coast cities like San Francisco, Los Angeles, Seattle, and Portland, arguing that these approaches have worsened homelessness, crime, and drug problems. Drawing on decades of experience and advocacy, Shellenberger reveals how progressive ideology enables destructive behaviors by designating certain groups as victims entitled to harmful conduct. He contends that the real issue is not a lack of resources but a flawed moral framework that undermines the foundations of urban life and civilization.
