Imagine living there and seeing that every day, dreading leaving your house because you will inevitably be confronted with "change... change..." everywhere you turn.
Someone asking you for change is the least of your concerns. More like "stepping on a used needle" or "your kids watching homeless people do drugs/have sex"
Homelessness is usually followed by mental illness. There have been many subway attacks in NYC lately, caused by people who should have been institutionalized. I didn't worry as much over the needles and human shit, working in SF, more of that man whispering to himself, hoping he wouldn't punch me in the head as he walked by.
That's the thing really isn't it. Let's close the mental health institutes cause we can freely distribute the drugs and psychiatry has advanced! It's cruel to lock these people in cells! Budget cuts budget cuts. So okay, now they're just left to rot on the street, not getting any help at all. Good going progressives, you sure helped people improve their lives.
It was Reagan that shut down all the mental hospitals in the 1980s.
Then had that ineffectual "war on drugs"/DARE programme while Iran/Contra was assisting cocaine to flood into the country, iirc.
Now, the hard drugs scene isn't even about cocaine any more, it's shifted right to the methamphetamines, and opiates (mostly from prescription origin, notice that it's been prescription drugs that the celebs have been offing themselves with for the past couple decades .. and even before that, when Johnny Cash was a pill-popper enabled by his doctor way back in the 1950s, ffs) .. .and that crap has come from corrupt pharmacists willing to feed the market (and gee, it tends to be pakis ... spreading opiate addiction for the chinese ...)
So, I wonder when all this social experimentation actually started, now.
Mainly the 1960s when the changes became very notice-able. But really the 1930s due to the starting Communist infiltration of our institutions by the Soviet Union.
I think it is progress and I was informed by reliable leftists that progress is great no matter what.

The news station that did the "Seattle is Dying" video recently released a new video "The Fight for the Soul of Seattle" https://youtu.be/WijoL3Hy_Bw
Frankly, I think the fight is already over and lost. There's a woman in that video that says "this isn't about politics". That's how well-trained these people are. How do you expect anyone to change behavior if you don't provide any incentive or disincentive? Do you really believe politicians are simply ignorant of a massive crime and homeless issue growing in their own city?
Imagine letting your city die because you don't want blue to lose. I have a lot more respect for those in GA willing to throw RINOs under the bus for supporting election fraud.
Seattle died in the 90s. Killed by it's own leftism. It just took a while for us all to notice.

I couldn't help myself, I had to take a look. The meth guy got so triggered he went on and posted on a subreddit for "Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder" about his run in with mean words.
See, this is what predators are for, they rid a species of the worst. Or so it is said, so is hunting justified. I think humanity is sorely needing a predator to cull it wisely.
Yes, the loser apes who get shunned by their peers or who simply could not function in ape society tended to be the ones that got eaten by lions and leopards.
Someone remind them it's worth $5,000,000 at a modern art museum.
"whimsical landscape art"... No its decorations like you would for a house.. But made of trash.
It's like calling graffiti, art. (banskys are still graffiti.)
