This isn't even remotely true

If you look at the most dangerous cities in America by violent crime rate the theme seems to be de industrialization and poverty over party politics. Cities like Portland, Seattle and SF get a lot of press for homelessness and property crime but are any of them even in the top 20 most dangerous cities (per capita)?

You ok with a woman in your family(mother, sister) walking around alone at 10-11 pm?

trick question, no real man would knowingly let a female member of his family walk alone at night.

Dallas is getting rough.

There was this surgeon I knew in Pine Bluff, Arkansas who was flagged by one of the insurance companies for fraudulent billing. Apparently, he was billing for way too many gunshot wounds etc.
The surgeon didn’t try to fight his case. All he did was request the insurance company to send one of their personnel to tag along with him for a day. So they did send their spy as per the surgeon's suggestion. They did not question the surgeon's integrity again.

Trouble in the big D? Move to Waco, that place is the truth.

Through the Tenderloin? Fuck no but most of the rest of the Bay Area, and where I live, yes. There's no crime or homeless people around for miles

should send them to districts whose representatives voted to cut the border control budget. too easy to constantly blame border issues on liberal and sanctuary cities

It’s the liberal cities politicians and political activists/elites that pontificate one thing about “they just want a better life” until that seeking a better life is at their door…then it’s magically “we need to figure out a border solution”.

generallly yes I agree about reps that voted against border funding but the fucks that say the border isn’t being overrun deserve the blunt of what’s happening.

rub their F-big noses in it. It’s what they and the people that voted for them deserve.

Biden suddenly building a new portion of the wall. Is he racist now? Should be according to the bar lib politicians have set. God knows both sides won’t agree so fuck it, send it to the places that turned a def ear to the please for border security.

Also - no idea where Andy went in LA - just look along the rail tracks…hell, the drive from Sacramento to LA has homeless camps all along the roads.

I’ll take a meth lab redneck trailer park before I ever pay to life in a city anymore.

Wife wanted to take kids to a Arab concert in DC.

I made the call and said no way. I showed her the DCPD Twitter feed and said absolutely not. Stay the F out of DC at all costs. There is nothing there worth anything to risk it.

Yes. Millions do it every single day.

This whole thread is way too pilled to be true.

So Biden continues to build the wall, lol

I used to volunteer at the community centre on Main and Hastings while attending Uni in Burnaby back in 2006. And friends and I would go drink in dive bars around there on the downtown east side. Wouldn’t even think of doing either of those things now. Main and Hastings was always homeless central, but now it’s a complete mess and super sketchy as far as that goes.

All the same it’s nowhere near as bad as the poor/rough parts of major American cities, nor are the violent crime levels even close.

It’s also a little tiny part of the GVRD, so just like @Bjerknes said, it’s easy to visit any of these major cities and not see any of this stuff. Doesn’t make it less fucked up, but does make it very easy to avoid.

It's a tiny part, but it's very surprising.

Vancouver is affluent by any standard, yet it's the sort of scene you expect to see in the worst neighbourhoods of Detroit. You just don't expect in a city with such wealth.

Encino, Studio City, Santa Monica, Redondo Beach, Pasadena, Hollywood, West Hollywood. Only thing I saw that was relatively bad was some dude with his Fentanyl hunch.

I’ll take a meth lab redneck trailer park before I ever pay to life in a city anymore.

Wow, really? You do realize those things can explode at any time, right?

Meh, I go into DC once a month or so. Like I said about LA, it depends on where you go in DC. Obviously don't stay out past 12.

Now let's ask people in geneva, Tokyo, or dubai

Then let's ask people in Cape Town, Mogadishu, and Fortaleza.

Probably has seen the polling numbers on border security

The first thing that comes to mind is the whole car break-in thing, where people just leave their doors unlocked to avoid have to replace windows OR people doing that and coming back to people sleeping in the back seat sounds wild to me.

As an SF resident for over 20 years, I can tell you that is true. And it was true 15 years ago too. I would walk the streets and see broken car glass everywhere from the night before. This is in no way a new phenomenon.

Some said then, as perhaps now, it's related to the lower criminalization of car break-ins when voters voted on a state proposition to stop filling the prisons so much.

But then causality is a lying bitch.

If I were choosing to live in a city in North America, I’d live in liberal Vancouver over any other city. And the choice wouldn’t be very difficult.

Vancouver has gotten way rougher, bruh. And it's not just because of their safe drug use sites.

Almost all cities are dem run.

And then there's the Republican-run Jacksonville, Florida, the crime-free paradise of all free men.

a guy I work with told me California is nothing but illegals, crime and legal pedophilia. He’s currently on a trip to Disney with his entire family

Reminds me of 30 years ago when I worked in an office in Maryland and a coworker's officemate went off on how he wanted to burn down all the cities and kill all the darkies to improve society.

id argue that being anywhere not named Provo could possibly lead to death or dismemberment, most like by packs of minorities. if we’re going by statistics

And you know my Provo story: auto repair fraud capital of America.

It’s the liberal cities politicians and political activists/elites that pontificate one thing about “they just want a better life” until that seeking a better life is at their door…then it’s magically “we need to figure out a border solution”.

Which, to the conservative credit, has been effective, IMO.

rub their F-big noses in it. It’s what they and the people that voted for them deserve.

But this just creates a society that believes in direct causality, the lying bitch. That no outcomes are systemic but a single direct outcome of one factor: a vote for one politician, a vote on a ballot, etc. Reductionist clown car material right there.

That because someone clicked "yes" on voting for Proposition H or whatever, they deserve to be murdered. And so do all their neighbors who voted "no" but didn't win a majority. So f* you all.

That is a doomed society.
