Well you bring up the key point which is that mega city’s that are highly populated have different needs than rural and small populated areas. You can’t compare a small town to a big city and think that is apples to apples.
I personally dont think it is a fair argument to blame the state of cities on partisan politics. Highly populated and poor areas are going to have higher crime rates and other variables just because of the fact they are highly populated and poor.
There is a reason why small wealthy towns don’t need huge welfare programs and many liberal policies and it isn’t because they are conservative it is because they are small wealthy towns. I think that is pretty obvious
Yes and no. There are no excuses that can be made for LA, San Francisco, Baltimore, Detroit. A certain amount of crime and filth is to be expected. These cities, in particular, have taken that to the extreme.
Again, look at Rudolph Giuliani, someone I'm sure you probably detest, when he cleaned up New York.
It can be done, if the will is there.
I see no will in LA or Baltimore or God forbid, Chicago. They are like
the former beauty queen who just let themselves go to a horrendous degree. Imagine a four hundred pound
Angelina Jolie.
That's Los Angeles.
There are some metropolitan cities like Honolulu, San Diego or Tampa that keep a lid on crime and disorder.
