JimCan anyone name any other cities that have nosedived into shitsville? I've been watching a lot of Portland and San Francisco vids but feel there have got to be other metro areas that have gone full retard with their crime policies, open drug use, homelessness problems, and sheer stupidity.
@SapientPearwood I love channels/videos like this. I follow a couple that tour the nation doing street views of the worst neighborhoods and a couple others that will do video essays where they explore shit falling apart. 20 years ago if you talked about urban decay people would bring up a select few examples like Detroit or Gary Indiana but these days it seems like so many metro areas are just straight up collapsing.
If you want a nice dive into tons of the cities that are falling apart this is a great channel for it. I haven't watched all of the videos yet but the ones I have seen were truly jaw dropping. Cities you wouldn't expect to have crazy large hobo populations, like Arizona, actually have large camps that the city isn't really doing a whole lot to get rid of outside of coming through every so often and throwing away their tents and tarps.
The Hawaii video was also extra funny because they talk about how other states are just paying for one-way plane tickets for the hobos to get rid of them.
