Today, we review Michael Shellenberger's San Fransicko, which critiques of progressive policies in West Coast cities, arguing they have exacerbated homelessness and drug addiction crises. His book examines the failures of approaches like Housing First and decriminalization, contrasting them with more effective strategies employed in other cities. Shellenberger explores the roles of political ideologies, activist groups, and flawed government programs in creating and perpetuating these problems. He also analyzes the impacts of deinstitutionalization of the mentally ill and the unintended consequences of well-intentioned progressive policies. Ultimately, the book advocates for a balanced approach combining compassion with accountability to address these complex societal issues.
