What the hell is THAT supposed to mean?
It means-we know we live in a deteriorating, crime ridden, dangerous pest-hole, but as long as we can make money by denying it and luring gullible tourists with cash here, it’s all good. There is also a ‘fantasy factor’ at work- young, left-coast, ‘artsy’ types are flocking to the ‘funky’ areas-and getting robbed, assaulted and killed with impunity. Still, they believe their very presence will ‘lift’ the area into a hip urban paradise. Talk about fatally stupid! Now lets see if this guy’s wife and kiddies STAY in the Lower 9. If they do- they are suicidal.
they are just in cya mode....”harping” as if “harping” is like protecting and arming these vulnerable workers...
