Can SF government solve homelessness?

In this episode, host Ben Kaplan interviews Chesa Boudin, former San Francisco district attorney and the new founding executive director of UC Berkeley's Criminal Law and Justice Center. They explore key issues in urban public safety, from homelessness to judicial reform. Boudin offers candid insights into systemic failures at City Hall and the ineffective use of funds meant to combat homelessness. The discussion also addresses the broader implications of local judicial decisions and the need for genuine solutions over political blame games.
