In my almost 50 years experience here it is the out-of-staters that ruined The City and the state, less so the natives. Invariably, when you talk to the loons, you find out that they or their parents are from other states.
Now, as the state crashes and burns, many of these same people are heading to your state in order to ruin it.
My wife is a native of the area, we used to visit a lot up until the 90’s.
I met a lot of nice natives in the city. but almost unformly, they prided themselves on not being judgmental and they went out of their way to let the loons come in and take over their city, then felt somehow proud that they had such diversity.
My wife wants to move back. After the fires from the riots quit burning, we may look for a small place to retire.
