Do a little Google Maps tour through downtown Johannesburg South Africa and you’ll see the future of SF and the country. Basically beautiful, tall buildings, but with a ground floor street scene that looks right out of Central Africa - with Third World store fronts and garbage-strewn streets.

Liberalism. But it’s funny, some here seem fixated on one, corrupt country that most Americans cannot even find on a map, while American cities continue to crumble on a daily basis - only posting on that subject. I wonder why?

Most Americans can’t find America on a map of America.

“Basically beautiful, tall buildings, but with a ground floor street scene that looks right out of Central Africa - with Third World store fronts and garbage-strewn streets.”

Yup—it will probably take another fifty years or so and the high rises will start collapsing due to lack of maintenance.

In a hundred years Johannesburg will look like a nuclear bomb hit it—wreckage strewn everywhere with impassible streets.

That is what the left calls “progress”.

Maybe they feel that “it’s not their concern”.

NOT liberalism — leftism! Or socialism or communism, but NOT liberalism.
