Explaining The Mass Exodus Out Of America’s Large Left-Wing Cities

Authored by Michael Snyder via The Economic Collapse blog,

Over the previous a number of years, 1000’s of companies and thousands and thousands of individuals have left America’s giant left-wing cities. 

Of course when moderates and conservatives depart, that simply causes these cities to shift even additional to the left, and the politicians simply implement much more self-destructive insurance policies.  So now lots of our greatest metropolitan areas discover themselves caught in a “death spiral”, and there seems to be little hope of turning issues round any time quickly.  The politicians in these left-wing cities clearly perceive that their once-thriving communities have been reworked into crime-ridden, drug infested hellholes, however it might go towards the whole lot that they imagine to do what is critical to make things better.

When I say that there was a “mass exodus”, I’m not exaggerating one bit.  The inhabitants losses that we’ve seen over the previous a number of years have been absolutely unprecedented…

According to the newest US Census figures, we’re in the midst of a mass exodus from America’s largest and most leftwing cities. The information reveals that New York City alone misplaced over half one million residents, which is greater than all the inhabitants of Miami. Additionally, Chicago, also known as “Chiraq” by some people, skilled a decline of almost 100,000 residents. Another notable metropolis, San Francisco, has seen a bigger share of inhabitants loss than another main metropolis within the United States.

I like to choose on San Francisco, as a result of it’s a good instance of this phenomenon.  It is likely one of the wealthiest cities on all the planet, and some years in the past it was bustling with exercise.

But now the whole lot has modified.  One man not too long ago went downtown to seize footage of what town seems to be like now, and he found that retailer after retailer is permanently closed…

In the Union Square space, 203 retailers have been open in 2019.

Today, there are solely 107 nonetheless working, and one other one just announced that it’ll even be closing…

Century-old Goorin Bros. haberdashery has joined a number of shops shutting in San Francisco’s Union Square, amid widespread crime and plummeting footfall.

The hat boutique has grow to be the newest casualty of the so-called ‘retail apocalypse’ gripping downtown San Francisco.

‘It’s by no means a straightforward choice but it surely was time,’ an organization consultant wrote in a press release.

What a tragedy.

The retailers that insist on remaining open in downtown San Francisco discover themselves resorting to extreme measures in a determined try to survive…

Theft has grow to be so dangerous in San Francisco that some shops at the moment are padlocking shut their freezers and tying steel chains to make sure the doorways stay closed in a single day.

Video shot by one potential shopper at an area Walgreens within the metropolis sees aisle after aisle of merchandise locked away behind Perspex and glass, out of the attain of thieves.

Even decrease worth gadgets reminiscent of toothpaste and tissues are saved beneath lock and key, such is the rampant theft that has been occurring in most of the metropolis’s pharmacies and supermarkets.

Over in Oakland, total crime is up 42 percent because the first half of 2021.

The Bay Area must be one of many nicest locations to reside in all the nation, however as an alternative it is likely one of the worst.

Of course the reality is that crime is on the rise all over the place.  Vehicle theft is completely exploding, and that’s significantly true for Kia and Hyundai fashions you could apparently steal “with just a USB cable”…

The US is battling a surge in motorized vehicle thefts this 12 months, with instances greater than doubling in Rochester, Cincinnati, and different cities, as thieves hotwire susceptible Kia and Hyundai fashions with only a USB cable.

A research by the Council on Criminal Justice (CCJ) on Thursday reveals how automotive thefts jumped 33.5 % throughout main cities, as thieves openly share how-to movies of hotwiring autos on TikTook.

That provides as much as 23,974 extra stolen motors throughout the 32 cities studied.

If crime charges proceed to soar, it received’t be too lengthy earlier than many cities are utterly unlivable.

But as an alternative of making an attempt to repair this disaster, lots of our flesh pressers appear intent on making it even worse.

In Illinois, they’ve truly eliminated cash bail, and plenty of are warning that that is going to trigger all types of recent issues…

Illinois has grow to be the primary state within the nation to remove money bail, clearing the way in which for doubtlessly harmful criminals to be let loose on the streets.

Democratic Gov. J.B Pritzker celebrated the step Tuesday, however critics reacted with incredulity.

Illinois Republican Party Chair Don Tracy mentioned the regulation will ‘significantly undermine public safety by releasing from custody dangerous, violent criminals at a time when police are under attack and Illinois families and crime victims already fear for their personal safety.’

Our politicians like to be smooth on violent criminals, however should you cross the IRS you might quickly have dozens of armed brokers in tactical gear show up at your door…

On Wednesday, no less than 25 to 30 IRS brokers in tactical gear raided a enterprise alongside Southeast Slater Street in Stuart, Florida, Fox 29 reported.

The raid, which started round 9:30 a.m. on July twelfth, noticed brokers coming into and leaving the premises of Tee Off Temps and Elite Payroll Solutions, every time laden with containers and huge backpacks.

The brokers with their clothes branded with “Police, IRS, Criminal Investigation,” shocked native witnesses.

“There’s at least 25, 30 cops out here,” mentioned one witness.

What on this planet has occurred to us?

Our priorities have gotten manner out of whack.

If you’re contemplating shifting away from a significant metropolis, I can’t blame you one bit.

Vast numbers of Americans have already moved to crimson states and rural communities, and plenty of extra will select to relocate within the months forward.  For far more on this, please see my earlier article entitled “Millions Of Americans Are Relocating Just Prior To The Great Chaos That Is Coming”.

And some persons are shifting in another country totally.  In truth, it’s being reported that the variety of Americans which are relocating to Spain has been spiking…

More Americans are flocking to Spain for longer, whether or not as so-called digital nomads working overseas or to get pleasure from a brand new life in retirement.

The variety of Americans dwelling in Spain grew by 13% from 2019 to 2021, and residential gross sales to Americans jumped 88% from the primary half of 2019 to the primary half of 2022, based on a report by the General Council of Notaries in Spain.

This is the place we’re at.

Our cities are descending into insanity, and violence is rising all over the place that we glance.

If issues are this dangerous now, what is going to our nation seem like once a full-blown economic meltdown happens?

If you reside in or close to a significant metropolitan space, you may need to take into consideration that.

What we’re already witnessing is actually scary, however as soon as financial situations grow to be extraordinarily harsh all hell is more likely to begin breaking unfastened…
