    To be fair (to be fair!!)...

    ...Kensington Ave has always looked like that. Repub mayors. Dem mayors. Doesn't matter. Kensington Ave has been a constant through it all. A consistent wretched hive of scum and villainy.

    Kind of the point of the thread title, isn't it?

    A Democrat politician from 50 years ago pursued a different variety of policies than a Republican, but ultimately the requirement was still to try and present some sort of logical plan for addressing public needs.

    A Democrat politician today is a screaming shithead, focused on spending insane amounts of money on irrational solutions to self-created problems and imagined grievances, and on loudly catastrophizing these imaginary problems to get other shitheads to vote for she/him. And yet despite how shallow this is, there are somehow enough dunces who will still eat it up, because they are now at the point where they have created their own religion, complete with their own devil.

    really ???

    I ask that BECAUSE........

    Bernard "Barney" Samuel (March 9, 1880 – January 12, 1954) was a Republican politician who served as the 89th Mayor of Philadelphia from 1941 to 1952. He is to date the last Republican elected mayor of Philadelphia.

    so in the last say 70 years they have not had a republican Mayor !!! meaning the democrats have had 70 years to find a solution for that SINGULAR problem ( one that I find hard to believe existed 70 years ago) and have failed ...that is if we assume it was an issue 70 years ago as you claim because you said republican and democrats alike have failed to fix it ....


    I on the other hand believe it is a democrat created issue ( just like in many other major cities) and they keep voting the same way and keep throwing money at the problem all the while making it worse because they have no real answers

    Ever been to Philadelphia? Ever been to that area of the city? I have for both and I used to live in the larger area for 20+ years. And in those 20 years, despite a number of different policies (and I was incorrect, I should not have said Mayor, I should have indicated political party via the larger city governing bodies -- thanks for catching that incorrect and over-zealous statement on my part), policing initiatives, etc - Kensington Ave was and is a known problem.

    I mean I get that you are now on to this larger narrative that all American cities are war-torn wastelands as a result of Democratic policies and all the other cool stuff that the internet algorithm is now feeding you...but this is not a new phenomena or a particularly American one or even related to political party.

    All cities everywhere for all time have their awful sections comprised of the down and out and the dilapidated. There was never been a city without that section of town. Heck, I work on 5,000+ year old cities and we see that.

    So I am not sure, what the "point" that the ruin porn and homeless vids content creators are trying to make (this may also be because their content is difficult to follow). That cities should have zero homeless people? That cities should not have "bad" neighborhoods? Are there existing examples either in the US or elsewhere of what a city "should be"? Obviously, I am not a fan of homelessness or impoverished cities...but there is an element of harsh realism here. There is no "perfect" policy decisions that can prevent many of these things from happening. It will happen no matter what.

    Finally....for all those concerned about the "plight" of American cities under the nefarious and incompetent Democratic leadership....where are you on increased mental health services? How do you feel about housing subsidies? What do you think about eminent domain to enact infrastructure improvements? These are typically (@ least based on what I have read) very big "no-no's" with the small government POV, but they are very powerful tools in providing some relief to the problems that seem to be causing concern over the last handful of postings.

    So what you have basically said here are two things.

    First, that Democrat policies are ineffective at solving the very problems that they are always screeching about and it's pointless to even have most of them. It is just a lot of yelling at the air and wasting a lot of money, and the ones who benefit are mostly those who have figured out how to run off with the money for themselves.

    Second, that some people are just hopeless because they are too stupid, or because they are violent assholes, or because they're mentally ill or on drugs, or they are various other types of assorted shitheads who ruin things for everyone around them, and those people will always exist. And those people tend to overwhelmingly support Democrats.

    In other words, it's not the policies that create liberal shitholes, it's the shitholes that create liberal policies! That's literally the entire point you just made. Well, neither one of those is anything to be proud of, and there's no one else to deflect it to, either. So here we are, listening to what those people say, and you think this is a good thing, and hold it up as a model for the rest of America. No thanks.

    There was a very striking graph that showed the inverse relationship between the number of people in long-term mental institutions and the number of people in prison. It is almost a 1:1 trade. Yet Democrats closed all the mental institutions in the name of compassion, believing in the laughable doctrine that everyone can be rehabilitated if you just give them a chance. So now these people oscillate between prison and homelessness, punctuated by dangerous encounters with police and passers-by as the inflection points between the two.

    And then the liberals screech some more about the homelessness and the dangerous encounters with the police - which they brought about themselves - and blame it on capitalism and white supremacists. Nonsense. The solution was figured out decades ago and it was working, until liberal shitheads undid it with emotion over logic. So, great job on that one too. And your solution is "more money for mental health programs," which in liberal-speak is not the old kind that actually worked, but a barely functioning system that provides infrequent bottom-of-the-barrel services through a thick bureaucracy, then turns the still mentally ill people back out on the street, so it doesn't actually work, but is a giant money pit. But at least it doesn't hurt anyone's feelings!

    Subsidized housing is the same way. It doesn't solve any problem. Even cursory observation of the system here, in liberal utopia, will tell you that homeless people don't use it. Struggling single mothers don't qualify because the income level is not poor but super-poor, or they get put on an 8-10 year waiting list. It doesn't help anyone get back on their feet. Those people are told "good luck, you're on your own," support yourself or sink like a goddamn stone. Mainly it's used by deadbeats and no-hopers as a way to park it in a free apartment for an indefinite length of time without having to do much. It doesn't work, just like your other policies.

    Meanwhile, complying with all the state regulations adds $100k-$200k per unit to the cost of new housing before ground is even broken, and then they complain about the lack of affordable housing. Oh those damn rich people. Oh those damn Republicans.

    Overall, what you wrote without realizing it is just another giant proof that liberal policies don't work, that the people supporting them should not be listened to, and that Democrats have no business being anywhere near the public decision-making process. For the love of god, please don't vote anymore now that you know this - just get out of the way, and I swear everyone will be better off, even the people you are flailing around uselessly trying to help.
    See you Space Cowboy ...

    Actually, Trumps supporters have done more damage to this country than anyone else since the confederacy. Further, Trump's supporters have a higher percentage of people sick from opioids than others in their local areas.
