I'm a native Angeleno. I can remember when McArthur Park was a real park. It was pleasant, well kept, and a great place for an afternoon picnic. Not a bum, a druggie, or a gangster in sight.
I haven't driven past there since the early 90s, but even then, it was still void of homeless people.
I don't know how a city or state reverses such conditions. Looking at examples like Detroit, it will predictably get worse and worse, until the bottom falls out.
Then comes Armageddon.
What will happen?
Leftists will do what they do best,
they will gather up and kill the helpless and the homeless. They will also turn some of them into soldiers in their killing armies.
Yes, Detroit comes to mind. The Mayor thinks the solution is to provide hotel vouchers, trailers, eventually condos? (I wouldn’t put it past him). Who pays mortgages, utilities? Who provides food? What if they don’t like it? Do they get halal? What if they are gluten free? Oh, I see - it is on We the Taxpayers?? Thanks buddy. Great clear thinking/ not.
