Problem is, once they spoiled their own nests - b/c of what they voted for - they move into the suburbs and start the same pattern all over again.
For the leftists and even the merely ambivalent there - this is what you get - riots, looting, burning, crime, fear... This is what you voted for or at least made no effort to prevent. I have no sympathy for you, and no I won't help. You 'effed it up, you fix it.
I don’t care.
What did they expect? They voted for mob rule and that’s what they got.
This immense amount of aid given to Democratic urban strongholds and blue states is but temporary relief. The truth is that urban commercial real estate is declining in occupancy and value. Many who can are moving to suburbs. Central urban residential rents and values are also declining. Tax revenues ( blamed on COVID) have declined sharply. Most significantly the amount of private capital investment is now a trickle in what is unlivable, lawless urban America. The new technologies have demonstrated that businesses do not require an expensive urban, central location to be profitable. Change, real change has arrived in America.
I don’t buy the “ratings starved” BS, at all.
Video of the Floyd riots would have been ratings gold.
The Media works for other masters.
Has there ever been a nation with problems more *absurd* than ours?
.......in the eighties, we had what was then known as “minority set asides” in all our discussions with City of Austin staffers. This meant that as a developer or contractor you had to “set aside” a certain percentage of work for minorities. That they were qualified or not did not make a tinkers damn to a City Staffer.
With respect to Notle’s article, I think we are headed into a period in America where whole cities are “set aside” for the lefties to play their political games while the proponents of this marxist dogma go off and buy million dollar houses. It doesn’t make any sense but that is the way of “lefties”. They shoot themselves in the foot and then reload and shoot again.

One can hope enough information makes it out to suburbia, that middle-class women are frightened of the anarchy and vote for more law and order, instead of appeasing the terrorists.
Wonder why we never hear about the Democrat-run cities not being ran by white supremacist’s ?.
