On this edition of Your Call, we discuss the state of the Bay Area and the national 'doom loop' narrative.
The San Francisco Chronicle ranked the Bay Area doom loop as one of the most important stories impacting Bay Area readers in 2023.
How should we discuss the problems facing the Bay Area, including inequality and the homeless crisis? What will it take to have thoughtful and fact based debates about real solutions?
