Immiseration

Chesa Boudin, San Francisco’s DA, is the subject of an essay in City Journal about violence, crime, drug use and death in San Francisco’s  Dodge Place in that city’s “tenderloin” district.

Son of members of the Weather Underground. convicted Marxist murderers, Kathy Boudin and David Gilbert, Chesa Boudin has lived a life protected by the Left that included education at Oxford and Yale.

As San Francisco District Attorney, Boudin is now inflicting his Leftist faith on citizens of San Francisco.  Their loss is encapsuled in a new word to describe the radicalization of cities such as San Francisco, Portland and Seattle when the Left gains power.

That word is “immiseration” defined as the “act of making miserable.”
