San Francisco sucks: Leighton Woodhouse on addiction, crime, and the Twitter files
Leighton Woodhouse is a journalist and documentary filmmaker. He also co-founded Public on Substack with Michael Shellenberger, where the two of them have been doing some excellent reporting on addiction, homelessness, prostitution, crime, and policing in San Francisco. They also, of course and famously, reported on the Twitter files. In this episode, Meghan Murphy speaks with Leighton about the situation in San Francisco and how it got so bad, the Twitter files, and his political trajectory, which went from very left to questioning the ideologies and political views he'd long been advocating.
