Dennis Herrera is the elected City Attorney of San Francisco. He's also a straight shooter. In this can't-miss episode, we talk to Dennis about which company is the most harmful to San Francisco (we get a surprisingly candid answer). We also ask him about the growing divide between tech and government.

Herrera spends some time talking about the perceptions tech may have about government and vice versa, and how to fix them. He talks about what CEO is a force for good within the city and spends time recounting his journey from the East Coast to San Francisco.

Herrera talks about his mayoral bid in one of the most famous San Francisco elections of all time. We spend time talking to Dennis about public transportation in San Francisco - and what issues are specific to the city, and which issues are more overarching.
