FAILED Progressive policy drives MASSIVE poverty urge in San Fran Bay Area

from News For Reasonable People · host Sean Reynolds

Here we go again – another "wake-up call" from San Francisco as nearly 2 million Bay Area residents can't afford rent and poverty explodes by a quarter million people. But hey, let's just throw another billion taxpayer dollars at "affordable housing" that costs over $1 million per unit to build. What could go wrong?We break down how progressive policies created this disaster: 46% cost of living increases, $6 protein shakes, $100K now considered "low income," and businesses fleeing in droves. Meanwhile, they're blaming everything except the real culprit – layer after layer of taxes, regulations, and virtue-signaling policies that drove out employers and made it impossible to build anything.When will voters connect the dots between their policies and these predictable results? Is anyone surprised that the same cities pushing the hardest for "progressive" solutions are ranking dead last in business investment and livability? How many more "wake-up calls" before people actually wake up?
