I'm not ""claiming"" anything. I am citing facts in print.
quote:No. But assuming it isn't, it does pique interest as to why your neighborhood gets preferential treatment, rendering it perfectly safe and pristine, within the nation's most dangerous urban surrounds. How does that happen?
That reputation doesn’t mean my neighborhood is a shithole
Good for your for living in a great spot. But as someone continually boosting the plight of the underserved, that personal safety differential is a bit ironical.

What do you think white flight is? White people eunning away from other white people?
Do you constantly just make things up? The era that book was written about is defined by every other historian as a white exodus from shithole areas. The whites left behind didnt have the means or desire to exit.
quote:
The white flight, also known as white exodus, is the sudden or gradual large-scale migration of white people from areas becoming more racially or ethnoculturally diverse. Starting in the 1950s and 1960s, the terms became popular in the United States. They referred to the large-scale migration of people of European ancestry from racially mixed urban regions to more racially homogeneous suburban or exurban regions.
Why do you think the US has the The Fair Housing Act (1968), The Equal Credit Opportunity Act of 1974, The Home Mortgage Disclosure Act of 1975, Section 8 housing? They are forcing other cultures into the suburbs for the specific purpose of destroying white flight from "culcha"

You won't get an honest answer, but good work on feeding the sociopath's need for attention.
The real answer is, like every other Progressive, they do everything they can to avoid living directly in the fruits of their ideology. They want to force YOU into living in these areas, especially when they elect leaders that are forcing section 8 into your neighborhood. Then, when the inevitable chaos begins, they get to virtue signal again by calling you a "racist" for pointing out the crimes being committed, then blame YOU for said crime.
It is a win win for these sick assholes.

Name any town in the US with a subway system where a young female would be advised to ride the subway alone at night? There are none.
And as far as an 18 yr old girl walking around at night....only in upper middle class suburb would this be safe.

Your failure to understand simple words and sentences is a YOU problem
No. The fact that you blamed suburbs for not housing homeless in the suburbs when those suburbs answer to a unified government is a YOU problem. It is a YOU problem because you refuse to understand that suburbs do not govern themselves in most cases. Is why some choose to secede from unified government.

quote:Perhaps. But it certainly is not that simple.
Something worth noting is that many (if not most) suburbs actively refuse to open shelters or provide services for homeless individuals. As a result, homeless people are often forced to travel to the nearest urban center in order to access shelter, food assistance, or social services.
Though there are laws on the books to reduce public vagrancy, all too often, those laws are unenforced. That, combined with behavioral incentives (food monetary supplements, etc) unpinned to behavior correction, tolerance of public illegal acts (nudity, defecation, drug use, panhandling, nuisance, etc), and so forth lend to increased urban visibility and decreased safety which is not present in the suburbs.

My boss and a few coworkers are in Memphis. They say it's a shithole. Not just parts of it. ALL of it.

Three people were shot during an early morning shooting in New York City’s iconic Times Square and police have detained a 17-year-old suspect.
The gunfire erupted in the gun-free zone near the intersection of 44th Street and 7th Avenue – just feet from the Hard Rock Café and Carmine's Italian Restaurant -- at around 1:20 a.m. sending people running for cover.
An 18-year-old woman and two men aged 19 and 65 were injured in the shooting, police told Fox News Digital.

Making homelessness illegal makes no sense.

Because they drop their homeless off in the nearest city, most likely.

even New Orleans, which has many legitimate problems, isn’t close to as bad as portrayed.
I don’t know man, every time I go to New Orleans I’m disappointed and disgusted. That city is an absolute shithole. I don’t know if that means every other big city is turning into a shithole but New Orleans definitely is and I seriously doubt it’s going to get better any time soon.

There was no blame. You’re using emotionally charged language and I’m not sure why.

Who governs suburbs? Jupiter? DC? My goodness they are governed by their parish/county if they haven’t incorporated.

NYC was definitely worse when I went there in 2024 compared to 2012. San Diego has gone downhill since 2010. Homeless people everywhere. You can still have a good time in these places but the vibe has changed.
New Orleans has always been a shite show. It’s just slightly deadlier the last 10 years.

Did you ever go to New Orleans before 2006? And you think it’s much worse now?

It doesn’t. New Orleans isn’t a shithole. I’m not claiming to live In the only non-shite neighborhood. I’m saying I live in a typical neighborhood in the city.

Your claim is false. I live in a typical urban neighborhood in New Orleans. People litter and I hate that but litter isn’t gun shots.
