Same thing here in Los Angeles. When they first put in the Subway here, I used to like to take the Metro to avoid traffic. The stations were clean and had cool artwork at various stops.
Now it’s a cess pool of filth. Smells like shit, piss or worse. Junkies shooting up out in the open, tent cities, trash, used syringes, empty liquor bottles. It’s disgusting.
That's just public transit in general. It's a homeless shelter. I dunno how the US will fix this without getting the homeless off the streets - which will cost tax payers more money in an already incompetent system that doesn't reward competency
What I’m saying is that just 5-6 years ago, it was nice because most of it was brand new. Shit went downhill fast once the Dems got control of the whole state.
Now the whole city is trashed. Every public park, every underpass, every sidewalk there are tents and trash and filth.
This has been the biggest red pill for Dems in California and it’s why I believe the state is Red but Dominion counts the votes.
LA had more of that than I could stand 10 years ago, I had to get the hell out of there! The locals were always quick to give me a condescending lecture if I dared to point out any of those aspects of "life in the big city" you mentioned, all of which were already so common that an outsider would find it appalling. To them, it was completely normal. They seemed to have no situational awareness whatsoever, freaking out over imaginary issues/"existential threats" like "global warming" and "white supremacy" yet unable to see the carjackings, shootings, and general mayhem in every direction. To them, a person daring to light a cigarette was a much bigger issue than homeless setting fire to each other. I do not miss those delusional whackos one bit. (LA Liberals I mean, the homeless people were much nicer to me than anyone else I encountered there.)
I have no curiosity about seeing the current decline of LA up close. Not a chance. There is no amount of money or job offer that could persuade me to return to that hell-hole of peril and degeneracy under any circumstances. In light of the lawless insanity I saw at close range, I was lucky to get out of there alive.
