In most of our lifetimes, cities were clean, relatively safe, no litter, no graffiti, no bums, none of the filth described here, no public drug use, no needles scattered all over.
Is there ever going to be a way back to that era? Or is it going to be a nonstop slide to oblivion?
We’re quickly sliding down the drain.
I was talking to someone recently about some of these changes we have seen in recent years. And she told me, well, we don’t want to romantacize the ‘50s, because there were still Jim Crow laws, women didn’t have rights, gays were in the closet, etc. etc.
I don’t understand the mindset of someone like that. We were actually talking about how bad problems we have with trash, gang graffiti, homeless people, etc. and she brings up how we don’t want to turn back the clock on gays.
There is only way to return cities to civilization.
The Democratic Party will have to be outlawed as a criminal organization—banned as a political party.
Otherwise—fuggetaboutit.
#2. I lived in No. Philly for 4 years going to Temple Un. just below crime-central at Broad and Diamond. Funny. I never felt threatened riding the subway, bus or elevated trains, even at night.
As I recall, they were pretty clean.
The Democrats have turned Philly into one big drug den and toilet.
My family has never been back since about the mid-80’s when we took the kids to see Independence Hall and the area. No use risking our lives for a view of a liberal shithole. We’ve got Wash. DC for that.
As someone heavily invested in the city, I'm unfortunately pessimistic in that hope. But then, again, it's unlikely the entire country will pull out of this nose-dive the liberals have brought unto us.
