The Rapid Decline Of America's Cities

What Is Happening To Our Wealthiest Cities Clearly Demonstrates America’s Rapid Decline

The largest cities in the United States are becoming cesspools of crime, drugs, violence and homelessness, and no matter what “solutions” our politicians come up with the problems just continue to get even worse.  Sadly, this is even happening in the wealthiest cities in the whole country.  New York City is the financial capital of the entire globe, and over the past two decades San Francisco has been swimming in giant mountains of tech industry money.  But today the streets of both cities look like something out of a post-apocalyptic horror movie.  If things are this bad while economic conditions are still relatively stable, what will those streets look like two years from now when economic conditions are far worse?

New York City has seen some pretty rough times in the past, but the Big Apple has never had as many homeless people sleeping in shelters than it does right now…

New York City’s homeless problem does not appear to be getting any better.

According to the Coalition for the Homeless, the numbers have actually hit an all-time high. They claim the average number of people sleeping in a shelter every night climbed to nearly 66,000 in October.

It is far more preferable to sleep in a shelter than it is to sleep in the streets, because violence in NYC has escalated to very frightening levels…

Fatal stabbings and slashings are up an alarming 37% in the Big Apple this year.

The NYPD has logged 96 blade-involved killings so far in 2022, compared with 70 for the same period in 2021, according to department stats obtained by The Post.

Stabbings and slashings overall are up 10% in 2022, with 4,344 compared to 3,954 last year, the stats show.

Meanwhile, the downward spiral that we are witnessing in San Francisco is incredibly alarming.

Have things really gotten this bad?

Part of the problem is that the office buildings downtown are much less occupied these days thanks to the “work at home revolution” that began during the early stages of the pandemic…

Today San Francisco has what is perhaps the most deserted major downtown in America. On any given week, office buildings are at about 40 percent of their prepandemic occupancy, while the vacancy rate has jumped to 24 percent from 5 percent since 2019.

Another major factor is drug addiction.  Right now we are witnessing the worst drug crisis in the history of the United States, and it just keeps intensifying every year.

Social decay is systematically eating away at the foundations of our civilization, and at this point America’s decline is really starting to accelerate.
