Johannesburg has turned squalid, and there is no return from that either.

the pattern always repeats.
Capitalists build, socialists take, socialists let infrastructure built by Capitalist degrade, country implodes. Socialist blame Capitalists.

Sad, It was once a beautiful city, I had friends in Florida, two doctors married to each other, who’s families had escaped Hitler by taking a ship to Johannesburg. Wonderful people. She flew back every November to help at a clinic for native AIDS patients.

Oakland is following the exact same path under the “progressives.”
“Roads littered with potholes. Broken traffic lights not repaired for months. Rotting rubbish in the streets.”
There too. I was thinking East Cleveland OH, or Jackson, MS.

Who knew, ya can't just hand a world class, first world city to 80IQers and expect them, not even to add to it, but simply maintain it.
There's a lesson here. Not many will absorb it.
