Will the last Civilized man please turn off the lights before they go.
Open early. Thugs sleep in late.
Biden voters don’t care. They’ll just whine about being victims of store owner’s racism. The Joe Stolen admin will step in and give them more of your and my money.
It’s all part of the plan.
Urban blight. Try to improve things and you are guilty of racist gentrification. Leave things as they are and you are, of course, a racist white supremacist. Damned if you do, and damned if you don’t. Embrace your “racism”.
Riot, pillage and burn, then claim you are a victim of White Supremacy......................got it.......
Who wants to do ANYTHING (legal) in a City after Dark? That’s a problem.
Good article.
The problem with “experts” is that they ignore stuff that is right in front of their noses.
While I lived in New York city, everyone hated Giuliani, everyone hated his policies and everyone said that would never vote for him.
But the streets and neighborhoods were safe, people could walk at anytime of day or night with their children, and Disney put money into 42nd street. The porn shops, peep shows and drug users disappeared, and the city had a renaissance.
Everyone hated Giuliani, but he won all his elections and the Democrats had to change the laws to get rid of him. The same people who hated him voted for him while their lips were reviling him. because the streets were safe.
Yep, I’ve heard this from activist types. First the activists complained about “white flight” from decades ago, and claimed that city neighborhoods went downhill when whites moved out.
Then those same activists decry “gentrification”, because they claim wealthy whites are pushing out blacks to whom the neighborhoods allegedly belong.
“Thugs sleep in late”
...very true. The hours of 5am-12noon would be perfect.
When I lived in Seattle there was a McDonalds down around 2nd and Cherry. (rough area with homeless and addicts very common) It was only open 7am to 2pm. Employees cleaned up and gates were down and locked by 4pm. It was too much of a pain and a risk to serve even a bit into the evening. Smart owner.
The US in particular and the West more generally seems hellbent on self destruction.
How you turn tbis around I have no idea. The irony if it exists is that to the extent that communist China is held up as some kind of ifeal - they wouldn’t stand for this crap for 2 seconds.
While you might think the man is black, he isn't. He is Italian on one side and not one of Marion's people. They hated him and hounded him out. Thankfully we now have a more enlightened woman of the people - the right people - as Mayor, Bowser.
What the “Golden City” really needs to do is DEFUND THE POLICE.!!! That’ll fix it... /s
back to the 60s and 70s....everything old is nu again
San Francisco...the new Detroit!
