Each one worse than the last.
Honestly, though, I am from Albany, NY and we had areas nearly as bad or worse 20 years ago. Many of them, you pretty much had to drive through to get down town, right off the highway. They were far worse in the warm weather when they were all out. Though, yeah, the burning fires in the streets, that was the regular in the cooler weather.
This is nothing new, just the natural habitat and living in the ruins of a once functional society.
Detroit is the logical conclusion of Democrat policies, and if they are allowed to, the Dems will turn every city into Detroit. It’s a template.
