The Heartland Institute’s Donald Kendal, Jim Lakely, and Chris Talgo present episode 424 of the In The Tank Podcast. With world leaders descending on San Francisco, city officials have taken care to clean up the streets, hiding from the world the poverty, grime, and homelessness. Critics have mocked California Governor Gavin Newsom for taking this action only when the eyes of the world are upon him. This situation highlights a larger issue in our country. Our cities seem to be devolving into dystopian hellscapes, overrun by crime and general lawlessness. What is causing this and what can be done to fix it?PRIMARY TOPIC – ARE AMERICAN CITIES DESCENDING INTO A DYSTOPIAN HELLSCAPE?
