English Got What They Voted For

You consider Indianapolis to be a success story as you claimed then?
Those figures don't seem much different.

Well I've lived in Indianapolis and my friend who I've visited often lived in downtown Cincinnati. I know Raj likes to make fun of personal experience but the difference was palpable. My friend is the one who summed up the Cincinnati situation as: "Lack of Unigov."😆

I'm not claiming either US city has solved all the underlying issues - for that you have to venture further afield, to Europe.

But the root cause remains as I have described - clumping poor people into de facto ghettos. LA or London or the Paris banlieues - doesn't really matter. The solution is: mix 'em up. Move poor people to the rich areas or encourage rich people to move into the poor areas. That reduces crime back to manageable levels. 😆

Amazing that. Treat all people equally as deserving empathy, grace and significant opportunity and they end up being happy campers in an enviable well run society.

I think the nobs that run the UK and its former colony the US just prefer dysfunction as their modus operandi to control the masses.

To be clear - the rich don't care about the poor at all. Completely indifferent to them. But they care HUGELY about their property values, and they know that to increase those values (SO important!) they have to keep poor people as far away as possible. 😆

So @Cliff-Mashburn votes to create the problem, and then posts videos complaining about it.

He must be retired. 😆

Retarded you say?
