And people be focusing on semantics of defunding vs dismantling when this is going on….

It seems sooo crazy to me that some people are trying to portray an image that the city is just fine when this is going on.
Wouldnt that be a form of denial of sorts or trying to sweep the problems under the rug?


Or to put it another way, a sign of white privilege?

Hey, all is fine in my neighborhood or my hanging grounds so the city is just fine!!

its only in some parts of the city. Not the nice parts!


Talk about heads in the sand….

 

Every city is great if you hang in gentrified white yuppie hoods.

 

You should only dine in neighborhoods with a high murder rate and/or infested with homeless. Raise them up!

 

He's not moving to Venice

 

I don't go there anymore. Too many crackheads

 

so...staying in the whiter cuck filled burbs eh?

 

Yup. All I do these days.

Was in Carlsbad, La Jolla and Rancho Santa Fe yesterday. Today just hung in Hermosa Beach. Highly recommend in these uncertain times.

 

My daughter lives in Carlsbad...has a nice house there.

 

Usually when I go to Portland, even when staying at my parents house, I'd do one night in a hotel downtown, just to be closer to everything, explore, dine, drink, etc.

Doubtful I'll do anything like that this winter.

 

Yeah, it's ideal living.

 

after reading this it seems obvious someone got triggered over something?

Meanwhile, over on the other side of town…

Nice to know some people have nice safe zones with businesses to support. I dont recall anyone saying not to support small business.
As z matter of fact i remember some people concerned about the small businesses over the last two years that received major downplay from many here…


Safe zones sure are nice.

Lords had safe zones from the peasants….

 

????

but you said you don't want to be batman?


Are you a robin?


Also in case you are at all interested ( suspect you are based on your response) my post was more about areas of town. Not about supporting businesses. Thats great.
But some people post pics of parks
And places aNd having a good time as if all is well, while the other half of the city has serious issues.
And those who have focused on those issues have been downplayed as it not being a real issue by those same people.

Soooo, sorry if my post triggered you, but as long as some people post trying to portray a peaceful city, im gonna continue to dust up what others are sweeping under the rug.

Not everyone has the the ability to live in nice neighborhoods with nice, crime free, parks.

And thats the reality of it. No matter what some people want to push as a narrative.
