San Francisco-native turned Berkeley, California, resident Michael Shellenberger is no stranger to California’s progressive political climate. Identifying as a liberal himself, Shellenberger has seen the state change through its progressive criminal justice policies.

He has argued that these policies that loosen penalties for crime, push housing first for the homeless, and enable open air drug use, coupled with violent social justice protests, have led to the decline of the state.
