I like a fixer-upper as much as the next person. After watching over half the video...I saw little if anything worth saving. Most structures looked downright unsafe. The big question is...why even bother?
Give the remaining residents a week to move out of the city...and then nuke it.
This is what a dead, western Pennsylvania steel town looks like. Fetterman did nothing for this place because he’s a typical Democrat who hasn’t a clue how free enterprise and business revitalization take place. There is no hope for Braddock. How can Fetterman think he can run on his record as mayor?
I was brought up in the outskirts of a western PA town like this. Major industry left and the place went to hell—gangs, prostitution, drugs. The Mafia literally ran the politics and the crime there. It was a hell hole and my family left when my dad retired. My parents used to vote Republican (a lost cause there). Their registration was loudly declared when they stepped up to the voting booth. My mother said people used to turn around and stare at them as if they were aliens from another planet.
By the way, Fetterman’s kids currently attend Winchester Thurston—a pricey prep school in Pittsburgh. (Who paid for that? Fetterman’s Daddy Warbucks?) They wouldn’t be caught dead in the Woodland Hills school district which is primarily minority students where they should be attending. And Fetterman’s against funding charter schools—says it will hurt public schools where kids need to be indoctrinated with the latest woke idiocy.
If Oz can’t beat this guy, Pennsylvania and the U.S. are in big trouble.
