Minneapolis city council just voted to disband the police force and have given themselves a year deadline to come up with some stupid “community centric” alternative (articles I’ve read include diverting funding into the arts (because people only rape when they suck at painting I guess?)).

Let’s assume they actually carry through and the nightmare they’ve proposed becomes reality. How long do you think it’ll take before the people realize how utterly stupid this idea was and - whether it be in name or not - bring back stability through policing?

Reason I ask: I’m expecting the price of land and property to absolutely plummet shortly after there heads go full up their ass and I have no problem buying cheap property if there’s a foreseeable substantial uptick in the price in the (relatively near) future. Obviously it would be asinine to attempt to do anything with the land and build on it or set up shop on it, shitty “community centric policing” gives me little confidence that a business or building wouldn’t be gutted near immediately. But I also think people will eventually realize the horror of what they’ve done and reverse course (we did go from Obama to Trump) and once course is changed, prices go back up. So I’ll just sit on it (figuratively speaking, no way I’d actually be remotely close to the dumpster fire they lit), and wait.

Thoughts, ideas?
