There’s a guy on YouTube who walks California cities to show how badly they have degraded. Store after store, closed! (He often yells “Closed!”)
Guy’s got a pretty good sense of humor.

As goes California, so goes New York. I guess.
I have seen many of his videos of California cities. Of once thriving retail districts, that have turned into abandoned store fronts with hardly anyone walking around.
