Summary
New York City was once the most magical and powerful city in the world. Now it's an example of how restrictive and ultra-radical policies can destroy a vibrant city. On today's episode we share some shocking stories from New York. Whether it's the rapid collapse of luxury retail or the erosion of some of New York's most classic neighborhoods - it's no surprise that those who can afford to leave are fleeing quickly.
We also bring you a story from Los Angeles where a friend of ours received a shocking letter from a preschool. You won't believe how schools are overstepping their boundaries in the name of "safety!"
Finally, we bring you a debate! Who is crazier: California or Wisconsin? The answer isn't as simple as you might think!
We hope you enjoyed today's episode. Please keep us going by becoming a monthly giver here: https://secure.anedot.com/unreported-story-society/cf0cdeea5333b147798ff
