Episode 278: The Rise of California’s Zombie Cities

Will talks with government finance veteran Mark Moses about the growing number of California cities stumbling toward collapse. Guest cohost Rick Reiff joins Will to consider a weird week in sports, the legacy of John Wayne (born May 26, 1907), the renaming of Cal State Chico’s Sutter Hall, segregated graduations at UC Berkeley, Gavin Newsom’s misunderstanding of Disney’s business model, the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision regarding California pork chops, and California’s continuing war on oil.
