This week's episode of the podcast is a must-listen for anyone concerned about the state of our cities and the policies that are driving them off a cliff. The conversation is a sobering look at the reality of homelessness in Los Angeles and the misguided solutions that are only making things worse.

The speaker is joined by Heather MacDonald, a fellow at the Manhattan Institute and author of the book "When Race Trumps Merit." They discuss the recent surge in homelessness in Los Angeles and the city's failure to address the issue.
