Hmmmm, what do Birmingham, Memphis and New Orleans all have in common?

I bet that used to be a nice neighborhood once... I wonder what changed.

In the mid 90s, my wife and I were living halfway between Camden and Newark, and my wife was trying to determine which campus of Rutgers Law School to attend.

I was down Camden way on business, so I stopped by to tour the Camden Campus. I drove around for half an hour, and I just could not believe the devastation. I walked around the campus, and all around were burned out neighborhoods. Total disaster area.

I got back on the Turnpike and stopped at a rest stop to call my wife I said that Newark could not possibly be that bad, and she was going to Newark.

From time to time over the next three years she would complain about Newark, and I would tell her she had no idea what bad was.

Twenty years later, I work in Newark and it is getting to be a pretty good town. Camden, however, remains bad.

The only reason Camden exists is to keep Detroit off the top of this kind of list.

St Louis had a murder rate of 60/100,000 in 2016.

The national avg is around 5/100,000.

Based on that picture, it looks like a good place to retire.

New Haven? I know that the city is run by Liberals, but there is some nice neighborhoods. New Haven is only 20.1 square miles.

The same neighborhood, in essence, can be seen in many more cities. In some cities, it’s smaller. In other cities, it’s larger. In some cities, it looks nicer than in some of the other cities. Buildings are a little more well kept. But it’s the same.

Why Reno? It was a sort of retirement mecca for Bay area people who couldn’t afford the cost of living back in the SF area.

I look at these cities and....I see the faces of Barack Hussein Obama and the Democrat Party who for the eight years of Obama as POTUS and the fifty years of Democrat political control over these pig pen ghettos and, I wonder how any African-American could ever vote Democrat in his or her entire life.

These cities are the Obama/Democrat slave plantations run by Obama & company to keep American Blacks prisoned in economic slave environments. Sad & Sickening from A-Z!!! Go figure!!! Go Trump, Go MAGA, for “ALL” Americans!!!

I remember Stockton was in the news for excessive gov salaries. I would guess the other towns are the same abusive spending situations.

This should be the most intuitive argument against socialism. The useful idiots don’t realize that to spread the wealth around the gov has to get the money first so your just bein charitable to them.
