In this episode, Zuby sits down with Michael Shellenberger to dive deep into the shocking reality of San Francisco’s decline. From open drug scenes and fentanyl overdoses to the politics that shaped modern homelessness, Michael explains how decades of policy failures, misguided compassion, and the rise of the “homeless industrial complex” turned one of America’s most iconic cities into a cautionary tale. They discuss the roots of the crisis in the 1980s, the impact of deinstitutionalisation, the opioid epidemic, and why so many interventions have failed to save lives. This eye-opening conversation challenges the narratives we’ve been told and asks tough questions about what real compassion and real solutions look like.
