Could the theft, violence and high rent be a consideration?
Government cares little about that.
True.
Government causes this by wide open border with no vetting of serious crimes or gang membership of new arrivals who then go to places all over the US.
Plus government has a stake in continuing chaos and crime waves——more power over citizens, giving up in belief in our Republic by victims and taking of weapons away to end the “gun violence” by the criminals.
Government policies created the conditions that make it impossible to operate businesses in these places, and now that same government is demanding those businesses remain in operation!!
