Went to NYC on a road trip in the mid 80's and once out of the Holland tunnel, a window washer came up unannounced and did the windshield. Walked around Times Square, porn shops and sleazy prostitutes everywhere. Went again to NYC for a wedding in the mid 90's and it was 100% different when Guiliani was in charge.
LOL
NOT due to Trump’s policies. Due to the Dem lies about how ALL foreigners are being “disappeared”. So file this one under “Fake News”.
Why go to LA when you can go to Cairo or Mumbai, they’re much nicer. Why go to Chicago when you can go to Luanda or Lagos, they’re much safer.
No mention of homeless encampments on the streets in places like LA and SF.
Foreign visitors get to find out about those the hard way.
You have to admire the gaslighting creativity, the Democrats have rebranded illegal invasion as “Tourism”!
Wonder how may tourists were planning on coming here and never leaving ?
They’re confusing ‘correlation with causation’.
D run cities is more likely the cause.
Yeah, no one is going to Broadway plays because Trump caused rampant crime, huge local taxes on tourists, and for the play offerings to be woke garbage.
What downturn? Oh, the one they made up a few months ago, the one that never happened.
Pity the poor bastards. They went to great lengths to fill the media with stories about the depression that Trump was causing. They had stories about coloring potatoes rather than eggs because of Trump.
A miserable failure. But they aren’t giving up. The dems, more than most people, know that if you repeat a lie often enough people will believe it.
Who wants to spend money in an expensive sh!thole?
Why the hell would anybody in their right mind go to a filty, deadly “Major US City”, especially on a vacation?
We have oceans, mountains, Great Lakes, forests National Parks...etc.
“Don’t want to get shanked at walmart” might be a reason
Reality:
Several foreign countries, including Canada, Australia, and the U.K., have issued travel warnings about crime in U.S. cities, particularly highlighting concerns over gun violence, civil protests, and the potential for violent crime in major urban areas like Los Angeles, New York, and Chicago. These advisories urge travelers to exercise increased caution and stay alert in crowded places.
They only have percentage declines for three cities:
NYC: 17%
LA and SF: 9%
In NYC they banned Airbnb, banned new hotel construction and took maybe 10% of the city’s hotels offline for migrant housing.
Tomorrow night the cheapest room with two beds at a Courtyard “hotel” near Times Square is $518.
“New York City, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Miami, Chicago, Orlando, and Honolulu.”
I don’t want to go to most of these cities either.
I guess I would go back to Waikiki Beach again. Only because Pearl Harbor was pretty cool. We were on our way to the Big Island and stayed a couple nights there first.
I can’t decide if it’s SF or LA or NYC this summer. Or none of the above…
What do all the large urban cities have in common? They are controlled by leftists. People aren’t thinking about Trump when they skip over San Francisco as a tourist destination. They are thinking about all the videos they see of the graffiti, druggies, thefts, assaults, etc that are posted daily.
I suspect those cancelling their planned trips to Cincinnati, after viewing the beat-down of that white couple over this past weekend, never once thought about Trump’s policies.
I don’recall the President defecating on the sidewalk in those big blue cities.
Now Biden, that would be a more nuanced question.
I could go to Europe or Mexico or South Frikkin America but the poverty stricken population make me a little hesitant to say the least. I will travel in the USA and maybe Canada thanks very much. I would consider visiting Iceland and Greenland but my list ends there. When traveling I would be careful not to visit too deeply in the urban areas which we are living right here in California. In fact there are places a couple of blocks from my home that I wouldn’t visit because they are apartment complexes. I know of one place where the liberals have moved in right across a single lane street from the projects. They tore down a bunch of warehouses and built high density townhouse condos right next to the HUD projects where the residents never move out because the price of free is hard to beat.
I call BS…the main N-S corridor in FL to Orlando I-75 and FL Turnpike is consistently chock full of vehicles w/ out of state plates. IFYKYK.
