For this reason, I do not venture into the city anymore and they get none of my
tax dollars... my only means of protesting the idiot gov't... but I am not >alone. Many feel the same and do the same.
I feel similarly towards Louisville. I have family that lives there, though, so it is difficult to avoid entirely. I can avoid downtown, though.
The government, and some of the residents, always complain about how no new businesses (especially retailers) want to locate downtown. They were complaining about it not long before their downtown errupted in violence. If they cannot connect the dots, they are pretty damn stupid.

That reminds me of how Portland, OR has gotten worse in recent years.

And I only miss dining at one restaurant...

IIRC, I think it was the Portland mayor who showed up in the national news trying to make friendly with "antifa"/the unsafe activists during that Summer. That doesn't send out a good message to businesses and organizations that might want to invest in the city, either.

It's sad, because I like this area (I also have family & friends
here). At some point I imagine things will need to turn around.

At some point you may need to move to a sane part of the country.
I suggest Florida. ;-)

Florida? Sane? Are you familiar with "Florida Man"? ;) Also,
I've visited Florida before, and I think it's too hot and humid
in the summer for my taste. Also, hurricanes.
Although there is the crime in parts of the area here, I live in
a suburb where I think it's not so bad. I still enjoy things
here.

And he was attacked by antifa that summer, too.
I was in Portland and went down
to watch the 'protests' - what *I* saw at 3pm was a mostly friendly protest, but I was there with an army vet who was feeling uneasy and asked to leave... we went and got our vehicle and drove by before taking off - the line of police, in the 7 minutes we took to get to our car, started a line of officers
to clear the area and teargas was going off and people were running.
Stoked that my buddy had that feeling...

Politicians most surely *know*. It is the serfs who can't figure it out.
