Like in San Francisco, where the chief of police states publicly that having your window broken and your parked car trashed is just the price of living there?

Like when those big inner cities become food deserts because the retail stores start locking up the toothpaste and cans of soup behind glass cabinets a few months before they close down entirely and move out?

You think that those places could get worse than they are, and that the cops (who don't do anything to stop any of these crimes as they happen, or to deter them in any way because they're too busy concentrating on the drug war that brings in confiscated cash they get to keep) somehow prevent things from becoming even worse?

It's difficult to reconcile the idea that you live on the same planet that I do, and that (presumably) you have done so for many years.
