I am driving through Berverly Hills. I could not believe my eyes how many stores are out of business on Rodeo Dr., Wilshire Boulevard and all around the city of Beverly Hills. It is super depressing even restaurants had to close down after 45 years it feels like Berverly Hills is becoming a ghost town certain streets are totally abandoned

I haven’t listened to Country music in over 30 years. I still consider Bob Wills music still the KING!

I loath country radio music. It makes my skin crawl.
However, it’s 2024 and you are not confined to the McMusic they play on the radio.

This is because the population increased from 1.1 to 1.3 Million. Those 200M people who moved here were from the more liberal states to our south and west. Not just MA either.
It is also the people that had owned vacation homes here. Then when they retired they moved here permanently. They are the worst. They own expensive lake and ocean front houses and ski condos. They pay very high property taxes on those houses. Yet, they have no kids in school. Which is where most of the property tax goes. So, they feel that they are not getting anything for their tax. Which they aren't. They are the people that also push for an income tax.
In my town, we had a bunch of these blue haired liberals who have finally succeeded in pushing through the bond vote to build a new library. Three other previous votes were defeated. Last months vote finally passed. The majority of old people who voted for it want a “community center”. There were also a lot of young moms who wanted it because they use it as a free day care facility. It literally passed the 60% threshold by less than 10 votes. My point in this story is that they have been trying to pass this library for twenty years. It never passed until the Dems in my town now have a clear majority. In the past people thought it was CRAZY to even think about spending millions to build a library.
Only the big cities, and there are only three of them. The rest is extremely red, you can count on our votes, rural outnumbers city dwellers.
But we won’t know for sure how much damage has been inflicted by people moving in until the next election. We’ll have to compare numbers from 2020. But the overall voting isn’t going to change, not when it’s starting at 70% republican. My county is 87%.
“When our two US Senators voted to certify Biden’s stolen election, I figured it’s pretty much over for us here in TN.”
Marsha Blackburn said she was going to contest the electors. Then when she ended up hiding in the bathroom for a few hours, afraid of having selfies taken with her apparently, she came out changing her vote.
Emailed her that she should quit. When our founding fathers have the courage to risk life and limb and she was too cowardly to face people with cell phones, and for some reason that made her lose all her principles, she doesn’t deserve to be there.
“Emailed her that she should quit.”
So did I. Often. Responses were boilerplate bafflegab-ridden trash. She STILL hasn’t explained and/or apologized. Neither has Hagerty.
There were far more than a few cherry picked closures. If you watched this, the guy appeared to be honest about it.
California has became Chicago and Mexico north who knew.
But I didn’t see street people and druggies passed out in the doorways. So it could be worse.
You're talking about Nashville, right?
Memphis? It's always been like that.
Tennessee is a huge state. So just two blue cities.
Your statement is ACCURATE. Memphis and Nashville are LIBERAL bastions... but, when the STATEWIDE votes are tallied it's 65% to 35% in favor of CONSERVATIVES.>p?

You're right madam. TRUER words have NEVER been spoken.
Blackburn is COMPROMISED and FULL of $HIT!
Beverly Hills, by Weezer.

I was there just post-Covidiot....not a lot of traffic, but the stores were not closed down and I didn’t see any empty ones.
