Democrat utopia. Go team blue!

It's clear evidence of a dying society as we continue march every closer to a 3rd world society. These aren't problems that we don't know how to fix, these are problems where we lack the political will and the stomach to fix.

Does anyone believe that any of these problems are going to get better with anything that is being proposed by the left? This decay and rot is up and down the west coast of this country and the only thing all of these places have in common is that leftists are in charge of everyone of these locations.

Residual casualties to the Elitist Utopia.

It’s a real life history lesson but tribalism works on weak minds. Look at @MelloDawg and his #bothparties nonsense he tried to pass off here recently. So out of touch.

Can have an Urban Renewal without a degraded urban center

I'm sure you've seen the Next Door community App that allows people in certain neighborhoods to mostly make fools of themselves for all their other neighbors to see. Community I live in the SF Bay Area as you would expect is very liberal. Some of the more active threads involve people complaining about thieves stealing packages off their front porches, the rise in car break-ins, and other property crimes and the rise in the local homeless population down the hill and near the freeway. Of course anyone who makes a connection between these two realities is immediately shouted down as an uncaring Trump supporters.

You have people doing weekly food and clothing drives to "help" the local homeless living under the overpasses, complaining about how the government needs to do more to help them and how they are evidence of the failures of capitalism and in the next breath they'll complain about their Prius getting it's catalectic converter sawed off in the middle of the night because some junkie needed the $50 dollars in platinum for his daily fix.

The possibility that there might be a connection between the two is completely lost on them.

Capital Lake has been polluted beyond use for decades. You don't even have to tell your dog to stay away.

The capital grounds get shabbier every year.

The no growth idiots were killing it before this latest group of idiots

Looks worse than a third world, I was just recently in Costa Rica and Nicaragua and it was cleaner.

Love, Freedom, security + universal basic income? Gin up a crisis, follow it up with totalitarian control + other peoples money, "From each according to his ability to each according to his need."

To this day, you still have liberals who blame Ronald Reagan for the mentally ill that are living on our streets. Until we are willing once again to start removing the mentally ill from our streets and putting them into institutions, arresting and prosecuting people for committing crimes then this problem will only get worse.

Subsidize sloth and you get more sloth. Go figure.

I have previously mentioned that the USA has lost 95% of it's mental heath care beds. We used to keep these people confined as they certainly are a danger to others or themselves. Massive facilities are gone. Are we better off? I've seen murders committed be these harmless individuals. Often they happen to one another but other times just random people. Had a transient stab a home owner to death while they were cleaning the windows on the front of their house. Transient for some reason just hated her on site while walking by walked over and killed her.

Had a transient murdered, most likely by another transient, for his social security money. He was a funny guy and never a problem for us or anyone else. He worked around a local church and they let him sleep there. But another dirt bag wanted his 200 bucks and stabbed him 25 times and caved his skull in with a brick. It was never solved.

Was driving my uber in SF on the edge of the Tenderloin. This crazy guy with an axe is walking around and raises it walks by my car and starts running down the street after someone. Was nuts. Just glad he didn't attack my car as I was stuck in traffic.

Nothing a few rounds of .45 doesn't fix.
