Good news, they closed the jail and stopped arresting people for "minor" crimes, that will solve it.
Young, the patrol division’s commander, links the rise in crime to fallout from the pandemic, rising inflation and a shortage of police officers following racial injustice protests in 2020.
Part of the problem is the city’s lack of a jail, Young said. The left-leaning council closed the previous facility in 2009 as a cost-saving measure — a move the Kansas City Star has called a “$250 million mistake” — and so people arrested for minor crimes are quickly released instead of being held in rural counties miles away.
That allows them to hop on the local bus system — free since the pandemic — and head back to the same location, Young said.
But apparently it's Trump's fault for stopping the USDA from giving subsidized food to people who hate the actually tax-positive population who pays for that food. I look forward to the next, dwindling generation of white kids being forced to pay even more to support the even less productive, explosively growing population of black kids. Maybe we should import even more, just make sure to crush the white standard of living to support people who hate them.
After a dozen years, they were anticipating a banner 2025, Rauch recounted. Then the Trump administration slashed federal programs that aided nutrition assistance. Both the stores and their philanthropic partners were hit hard.
“We ran out of money,” he said. “The current freezing of funds at the USDA had a very chilling effect.”
KCMO is a known joke around the area, I have plenty of friends who live on the MO side of KC, and whatever the fuck the county is has DAs that just let blacks go free despite committing felonies. Apparently the KC side arrests people, which is why the crime rate is concentrated in a specific area.
Downtown KC (which is on the MO side) is actually pretty clean and safe as far as big cities go. But the second you get away from downtown or the other tourist areas (Power and Light District, Country Club Plaza, the stadiums, the zoo, and Worlds/Oceans of Fun), it can get pretty hairy. And do not go to Independence or Raytown if you can help it, as that is where the bulk of the worst things are. Although looking at where this store is in relation to the local area, it is actually not a terrible part of town, so it is entirely possible people are deliberately targeting that store in particular.
KCK is where all of the rich people live and where all of the major corporate HQ's are. In a fashion that will sound all too typical, even though they are typically left-leaning (Johnson County, KS is the second most left wing behind Douglas County, where Lawrence is) they are extremely aggressive with law enforcement, cleanliness ordnances, and the other usual's. Meanwhile, the other half of KCK in Wyandotte County is actually more working class/middle class and so gets the same aggressive enforcement but because they actually believe in it instead of NIMBY-ism from AWFL's.
The Trump cutting USDA funding quip was totally ideological.
The same article with the Rauch founder closing all 5 of his Boston-area low-cost stores claims 3/4 of his revenue was coming from actual sales, the rest from "private funding & public grants".
Less than 25% of your revenue was coming from the public trough
Why is a grocery store receiving federal funding for overhead in the first place?
