San Fransicko : why progressives ruin cities / Michael Shellenberger. by Shellenberger, Michael. Harper, an imprint of HarperCollins Publishers, 2021. Call #: 307.760973 S544s Subjects Urban policy -- United States.   Municipal government -- United States.   Progressivism (United States politics)   Right and left (Political science) -- United States.   Cities and towns -- United States.   San Francisco (Calif.) -- Social conditions. ISBN:  9780063093621 (hc.) Alternate title:  Why progressives ruin cities Edition:  1st ed. Description:  xvii, 395 p. ; 23 cm. Bibliography:  Includes bibliographical references and index. Summary:  "Progressives claimed they knew how to solve homelessness, inequality, and crime. But in cities they control, progressives made those problems worse. Michael Shellenberger has lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for thirty years. During that time, he advocated for the decriminalization of drugs, affordable housing, and alternatives to jail and prison. But as homeless encampments spread, and overdose deaths skyrocketed, Shellenberger decided to take a closer look at the problem. What he discovered shocked him. The problems had grown worse, not in spite of but because of progressive policies. San Francisco and other West Coast cities -- Los Angeles, Seattle, Portland -- had gone beyond merely tolerating homelessness, drug dealing, and crime to actively enabling them. ' San Fransicko' reveals that the underlying problem isn't a lack of housing or money for social programs. The real problem is an ideology that designates some people, by identity or experience, as victims entitled to destructive behaviors. The result is an undermining of the values that make cities, and civilization itself, possible."--Jacket.
