America is in crisis and places like San Francisco have priced everyone out of living there, so the homeless population these astronomical prices helped create. Now, the wealthy are fleeing and stores are closing, crime is rampant and many formerly very expensive office buildings sit empty, surrounded by homeless encampments.It's an issue that is perfectly reasonable to discuss: Why is this happening in these cities?
Unfortunately, there's a good chance the actual answers aren't as simple as we want to make them, and we've lost the ability to deal with big problems. That would require communication, cooperation, collaboration and innovation. No longer qualities available in America.

Anything on topic, skippy?Meanwhile, Mississippi's capital city is months into living on bottled water.
Just the tip of the iceberg here, but I've been thinking about whether it's possible that a city can simply become too big. A city becomes large by being dynamic enough to attract money and talent, but then it begins to hollow out from the inside.America is in crisis and places like San Francisco have priced everyone out of living there, so the homeless population these astronomical prices helped create.

The bright red Deep South, AKA as "Trump Country", also has the highest poverty rates and lowest percentage of college educated residents, and anywhere desirable in the U.S. is quickly becoming too expensive to live there, partly to keep out the riff-raff, partly due to demand. It genuinely appears to be an unsustainable path this country is on, especially when a tiny percentage of its citizens control most of its wealth. It's worse in some places, but poverty and hollowed out ghost towns are everywhere in this country.

Every city has exactly as much crime as its voters are willing to tolerate.
The voters of San Francisco sure are willing to tolerate a very large amount of it.
Check out this report from ABC News:
Seems to be a positive feedback loop, exorbitant rents means more homeless, more homeless means more crime, more crime causes stores, bars, and restaurants to close shop. It would appear that greed is what starts this cycle of decline.Just the tip of the iceberg here, but I've been thinking about whether it's possible that a city can simply become too big.

Is it governance? That can certainly be part of it. Is it because a city -- a result of the way cities, counties and states are financially structured -- doesn't have enough resources (such as financial flexibility) on its own to manage growth? That could be part of it.
Seems like that's at least worth discussing.

At a SHOPPING MALL, idiot?This is not because of crime, it's because of all the empty office buildings that made up the bulk of their business. Now employees are working from home and offices are empty.
But keep flailing and failing!
