The thing that jumps out at me is they point to three specificities “Wall Street” “Google and Facebook” “W.D.C.”. But in and surrounding those “things” are exactly what is everywhere else.

Describe 12 AMERICAN cities as “hellholes” and compare them to “WALL STREET” “GOOGLE and FACEBOOK” and “the FED in D.C.”

Yeah. Whatever.

“WALL STREET” “FACEBOOK and GOOGLE” and the “FED. in D.C.” are the true hellholes.

And may they burn in HELL.

I worked in about half of those dumps on the list.

While working on a profect in Camden I met a man who grew up there and he showed me photos and newspaper articles from the 1940’s and 1950’s.

Back then Camden was a thriving All-American city.
Nice buildings in good repair, clean streets, prosperous businesses.

By the time I worked there the major industry was welfare and the city was a run down hell hole..

“Flint is the birthplace of General Motors and the home of the U.A.W.’s first big strike.”

...and that was the beginning of the end for Flint and other cities across America.

Funny, but I just so a list of 10 worst states to retire - based on crime rate, life expectancy, % of population under poverty level and average income. The 10 worst (in no particular order):
NC
SC
GA
FL
AL
MS
LA
TN
TX
AR

If these are so bad, why are all the damn Yankees moving there?

Isn't it wonderful how we are able to have a higher murder rate than middle eastern sh!th#l#s that employ suicide bombers?

Think about that for a minute. Some jihadi walks into a market and detonates the vest he is wearing killing dozens and injuring many more..............and the wonderful citizens within the cities of our country HAVE A HIGHER MURDER RATE.

So when they say places like Flint, Chicago, and Gary all have higher murder rates than say Baghdad, this is what you need to consider.

Jihadis in Baghdad vs. 0bama's sons in Chicago; 0's sons are killing more. That should tell you something.

There are so many places like those cities around, but there are still many strong communities in America. It is many large cities themselves that becoming obsolete, there is still a need for a few but technology has moved on. The socialists and the human refuse are what is left, the urban populations if new waves of Latinos do not occupy them will slowly fade away like the buildings. If you can stop illegal emigration the problem will right itself eventually. Formally great cities will become a cluster of smaller towns, blacks and other ghetto populations will dwindle as those who have it together move on and those who don't become fewer over several generations. Dysfunctional solves itself over time without government interference, unfortunately government loves to interfere especially Democrats.

Yeah but he forgot to include the greater Los Angelus area and San Francisco as well. Once great cities turned into dumps by progressives and dupes and illegals

What’s new? Those 12 places have been “Hell holes” for at least 25 years. I’ve been to them all except Oakland, New Orleans and Stockton.

Kind of interesting, I considered STL back in the 1980’s as a place to live after I graduated from College but I noticed over a few short years, the place went down the toilet quickly. Back in like 1988 friends and I would travel from Evansville, IN to STL to see the Cardinal’s play baseball and we always stayed at a hotel (was Holiday Inn, now Ramada Inn) off of I-70 and Lindbergh (US 67). At the time, the area near the hotel was pretty nice but I stopped at the hotel like in 1996 and noticed the area really went downhill. Looking at Google Satellite view, the airport has really expanded out and now the hotel is right near the a new runway.

Go to city-data.com. Look up the demographics of these cities, then scroll down and look at the murder rate.

Any questions?

As California and Illinois break down fiscally, I expect more of their urban areas will reflect the lack of funding.

The U.S. is in decline.

And this is with all the debt moron Obama has given to his welfare queens.

Obama borrowed 5 trillion $ in a few years. How much is that per working person? If you borrowed $100,000 yes you could appear to be well off for a few years. But this is what this Marxist goon Obama has done and even with that America is going down hill fast.

Increasing socialism and letting China steal factories and technology is a way to disaster and collapse and that is what Obama and democrats have been doing.
