The City on Fire

For those of you who support BLM.
For those of you who like BLM.
For those of you who said you "are BLM."


THIS IS BLM! Demanding people deed their house to a black because, well they are not black.

Throw in defunded police and it is easy to see what is starting to happen here. 2020s version of blockbusting.

Do they younger folks here know what "blockbusting" is?

Congrats BLM/ANTIFA. You've driven the
anchor store on the magnificent Mile
in Chicago to pull up stakes and
move out of the city. Hundreds
of jobs and millions of tax dollars
lost for Chicago. All because
LightHead the mayor was against
the police and with the terrorists.

CHICAGO — Macy's has reportedly notified its Water Tower Place landlord they want to leave their Magnificent Mile location. Mayor Lori Lightfoot confirmed Friday that Macy's is likely leaving the downtown location.

Same thing in NYC. "Unsustainable"

These stores on 5th avenue, have been boarded up since June 5th.

Bill O'Reilly lives is a posh Long
Island neighborhood and he
says the exodus from NYC is
monumental. If a house comes
up for sale in his neighborhood
its sold the same day for 20%
more that it was worth in March.
There's a 3 month wait for a
moving van in NYC. The rich
are heading for the hills and
taking their tax dollars with
them. Crime is out of control,
its another Detroit in the making.
Thanks, BLM!!

You are sounding like you do not think this was the plan all along! They are very angry about gentrification. They would rather live in a crime-ridden slum than the neighborhoods improve. Rich liberals are the dupes here. Well, the top earners it does not matter they will not deal with the worst of it. But the Wall Street grunts making $200-300K per year are going to take the hit as their neighborhoods become unlivable.

To complete the transition back to the 70s they will just need to reopen Studio 54.

Retail is tough. The rents on 5th Avenue got to be astronomical. On top of that, Amazon usually has cheaper prices. It is what it is:-)

They're not too happy with Amazon either. It's about wrecking the business infrastructure to ensure no one has a job to come back to. Two days ago, they trashed Amszon's Whole Foods in Brooklyn, and spray painted 'Murder Bezos' nearby.

It’s a matter of insurance, and simply giving up. Those high end stores were wrecked and looted for tens of millions.

What company would insure a store where the Mayor, Governor and District Attorneys are working in tandem to support the criminals at the expense of the lives and economic welfare of their constituents and businesses?

The Mayor failed to provide adequate police protection and the slow talking Governor resisted calling in the National Guard.

For his part in this ongoing crime wave, the Manhattan DA refuses to prosecute any looters and violent protesters, and all charges are dropped before the arresting officers can complete the paperwork.

We’re seeing this strategy play out in every Democrat run city across the nation.

First they impose a government mandated Depression, then they wreck whatever is left of the business infrastructure in order to prevent a recovery.

Then they defund the police to ensure this will happen over and over again.

People get exactly the kind government they voted for.

Yawn
Downtown's come and go
5th ave will be back
I'm currently riding my bike around downtown Mobile. It use to be a shithole. It's coming back and coming back strong.

This! Thanks. It is one reason I refuse to live in the city of Buffalo even though there are still some nice areas. My town, Williamsville, I'm told the police will not tolerate the shit that was tolerated in the city. Apparently the criminals are aware. There was very little looting and rioting during our BLM protests, and those that committed misdeeds were arrested. The criminals are savvy enough to know where it is safe to loot and riot, so they will naturally go to Democrat run cities.

Other than traffic that is a nice town, made a top-10 list on some YT channel.

Lots of these riots are to reverse gentrification. That is the dirty little secret.
