By not punishing shoplifters, looters, rioters, and other criminals, Democrat cities have turned many of their neighborhoods into food deserts.

Still going... Anti vaccine dupes. Almost over. Thanks Joe

It's the natural result of 70 years of White Flight, which, in turn, was brought on by the Great Plague of Locusts Migration... :cool:

Compounded by the fact that the Hood Rats are running the show nowadays in those $hithole$...

Too late to fix it now...

And business owners know this...

Why bother?

MUCH cheaper to pull the plug and shift your stores elsewhere else...

Keeping faith with their shareholders...

It's a bit more complex than that. Both parties are responsible, both the conservatives and the liberals. The liberals want to defund law enforcement and are soft on crime, while the right-wing conservatives militarize the police and are strong on punishing crime, to the point of destroying a young man's prospects of ever getting any type of financial assistance at college or a government Pell Grant to attend a Polytech vocational institute/Job training, because they were caught with an ounce of Marijuana.

Employment, housing, education, any type of government assistance..etc, are all out the window, due to the self-righteous penchant of right-wingers to criminalize vice, especially among minorities. It was tried with alcohol prohibition and that only led to Al Capone and Goerge "Bugs" Moran, among many other mobsters. The proliferation of violent crime follows the criminalizing of personal vice in general society.

The Republicans deal with homelessness by creating draconian city ordinances that force the homeless out of their cities and where do these homeless people go? They go to more liberal cities, hence the greater number of homeless people in Dem-run cities.

The Dems don't do what is required to eliminate homelessness, which is to force the homeless into rehab (By adjudicating them when they get arrested for sleeping outside or using drugs in the open.etc) and create the infrastructure and program to house these homeless people once they're out of rehab, clean and sober. A government-run housing complex with studio efficiencies (bed, kitchenette, bathroom, nothing fancy, just a place for someone to get back on their feet), in a well-secured building with law enforcement always present and plenty of counselors and medical staff..etc. These people need help, and that of course includes job training and employment opportunities.

The Dem-run cities absorb the homeless, the drugs and illegals, without having an effective plan or the infrastructure to carry it out. The Repubs, they just kick the homeless out or arrest them and throw them in prison. Another important problem that needs to be addressed, is the affordability of housing and public infrastructure in general.

In Repub-run cities, only high-paid professionals (top 20% of the working class) or the wealthy can afford to live in a relatively safe urban environment. Where in the city does the average Joe of the working class live? They're either dodging bullets in the ghetto surrounded by drugs, crime..etc, or they live outside of the city in a small town and are forced to commute. To qualify for HUD or government housing, you need to make under $1000 monthly, so who the heck qualifies for that? If you work at Mcdonalds you don't qualify for HUD and if you do, it won't be in a right-wing-run city because the Repubs refuse to cooperate with the federal government on those types of programs.

Both the Dems and the Repubs refuse to do what has to be done, and hence we're living in a country that is breaking down economically and socially. People work two jobs and they can't pay their bills. Where do the wealthy who own the businesses expect their employees to live? This country is falling apart, despite Wall Street's "booming numbers", because you can't measure the success of an economy based upon such transactions or trades. Speculative trading isn't producing anything in the real world.

It's Real Street, not Wall Street, that provides the data as to the health of our economy. Cost of living: The rent, utilities, wages, workplace conditions, healthcare, education, food prices, fuel prices, the price of daycare for single mothers, the price of public transit, the number of city buses and trains available to the public, what's being produced in goods and services, access to goods and services..etc. The real economy.

When you don’t stop these thieves, it just emboldens them, and then it’s too late to get things back under control. No store is going to stay in an area where they lose money constantly and get no help from law enforcement.
