Tonight on State of the Bay, I’ll chat with Berkeley author and environmental activist Michael Shellenberger about his provocative new book San Fransicko: Why Progressives Ruin Cities. He argues that homelessness and violence in our cities are the direct result of progressive tolerance.

Plus, we will talk to an analyst from the Public Policy Institute of California about the new water emergency declaration in San Francisco and what it means for you.

Finally, we’ll hear filmmaker Debbie Lum discuss her new documentary Try Harder! about San Francisco’s storied Lowell High School.
