I am actually all In favor of the big cities doing this. Let them rot while the rest of us prosper outside the cities. It’s a change in our lifestyle as I am a huge fan of big cities like New York and Chicago. This seems like the solution preferred by the majority in these areas, so...good luck!
I’m only in favor if we can build fences around the cities to prevent the miscreants from leaving and bringing their insanity to the rest of us...
