Recently I was visiting Boston on business. Driving around there was a big headache with traffic plus many streets are not well signed. Easy to get lost especially if one doesn’t use GPS—like me. The older I get the less I enjoy crowded, congested cities and locations.
Drove back one night last month picking up my wife from a trip to California. From the airport all the way north through Atlanta, the expressway lights were dark - no money to light them. They didn’t come back on until somewhere north of Fulton county until we reached Cobb County.
Urban governments are broke; they persist in the graft, greed and minority cronyism and favoritism forsaking all other amenities and services they are sworn to provide. Atlanta has been a prime example since the early 1970s when it elected its first black mayor, Maynard Jackson.
