There is some version of this in all of the city states. The cities no longer exist as they once did.
The city states are the very bed rock foundation of the political power wielded by the progressive trash destroying America. Additional to the tent cities are videos depicting block after block after mile after mile of main city streets that are effectively closed. Business is shut down, gone. Hollywood, San Francisco, Los Angeles, New Yotk....... poof, gone
When the citizens riot this summer and go to loot they will be out of luck. The stores they want to loot are empty, just gone.
The polls are one thing but they never register the fact that in many of the staunchly Democrat dities, the city is just dead. There will be a dearth of live voters.
The degeneration of this city is a severe warning sign for our country and its health.
Consider that Oakland, CA is a major West Coast port city and (per Wikipedia) the fifth-busiest port in the U.S. per cargo volume. It is an intermodal shipping port and was the West Coast terminus of the new transcontinental railroad. For such a significant and strategically important city to suffer decline can bode very bad things.
