In 1957, as a senior in high school, I was a representative to the Wisconsin governors council on children and youth....my topic was “you will get the level of gang violence that you will tolerate”....I was right then and still am.
As these areas fill up with the Bronze Horde, like the inner-city ghettoes they simply cease functioning. The residents contribute little or nothing in taxes, and they take no ownership or civic pride in anything. The last Americans there will be the government workers, and all over the northeast there is an issue where the current residents simply can’t pay for the retired government workforce (never mind current employees). My town in NJ doesn’t have the gang violence yet, but it is a matter of time; the same dynamic is at work all over the NYC metro area.
