    I remember reading an article, some time back, where the complaint was made that "The Taxpayers are leaving this area. How can we pay for infrastructure?"

    Well....................................................................................................Duh.

    Or Portland, OR. I read this last weekend that Multnomah County, where Potland is located, is down $1,000,000,000 in taxes due to people escaping. One billion dollars... Can you imagine?

    all cities are facing a huge drug and homeless problem that just keep snowballing.

    what helps ? lets give out more free housing and food stamps free drugs and shelter and of course a free area to use the drugs in and dont forget no punishment as no city will step up and can afford to lock them up or tie up the courts with all the so called "petty" crimes

    only going to get worse and were paying for it and supporting millions with out tax dollars around the world

    the old movies like Soylent green or the purge series of movies seem like good ideas any more

    More proof that Democrats can do more damage than an atomic bomb.

    There were a million more people in Detroit in 1945. Todays population 630,000. Those buildings are no longer needed.

    People don't leave the thriving community. They leave for just the opposite.

    Yes Steve, I can imagine. The big liberal cities are just like dominoes, eventually the game will be over, and they will all fall.

    Just hope they don't drag us all down with them!! The federal vote buyers will continue to bail them out to the bitter end.

    I had to look it up 🤨

    What is Broken Windows Policing?

    The broken windows model of policing was first described in 1982 in a seminal article by Wilson and Kelling. Briefly, the model focuses on the importance of disorder (e.g., broken windows) in generating and sustaining more serious crime. Disorder is not directly linked to serious crime; instead, disorder leads to increased fear and withdrawal from residents, which then allows more serious crime to move in because of decreased levels of informal social control.

    The police can play a key role in disrupting this process. If they focus in on disorder and less serious crime in neighborhoods that have not yet been overtaken by serious crime, they can help reduce fear and resident withdrawal. Promoting higher levels of informal social control will help residents themselves take control of their neighborhood and prevent serious crime from infiltrating

    More cities are going to go the way of Detroit. People are fed up with leaders who are incompetent and corrupt . The good folks who shoulder the burden and keep things going are leaving in droves. Just look at the number of people who have left California in the least couple of years.
