On Twitter, I like to pose a question that no one has yet answered.
Take a map of the world and draw an outline around the place where you will make your stand. General Robert Nivelle's "They shall not pass" as it were.
Whether you draw the outline or not, it is happening. Money and competence leave as decay gets worse. Dig this.
A construction crew has left the streets in Oakland unpaved over crime in the city.

Workers are refusing to continue repaving Oakland unless the city can create a less dangerous working environment.

Twitter user Jason posted this story in reply.
25 years ago I was GM at a large property service company in Minneapolis. It was bad in an area & we wanted to terminate a contract. Doubled our price to keep extra guy at truck to prevent theft. We lasted another year before there was a gun incident, we quit all contracts.
We didn't think North Minneapolis was dangerous, theft was the huge problem. They would steel everything from the truck if unattended. Some young guy threw a gun in our truck while getting chased by cops and that was the last straw. Management companies couldn't find service.
In the video above, there's an air of unreality as the woman, who presents as a progressive, says she's asking the government to do something about the paving of the road, saying "it's not fair to anybody" that the street wasn't repaved.
Requests for fairness and $3.50 will get you a cup of coffee at Starbucks, honey. Once you drive away competence and money, this is what you get. Clearly, Oakland is not inside our stronghold.
In Oregon, parents are told to have no expectations that their police force will prevent perverts from exposing themselves to children.

It looks like Oregon is outside of our stronghold, too.
Syracuse might have to be added to the list as well.
Safe adults do not encourage confused children to run away from home.

The formation of a stronghold doesn't have to be deliberate, either. My claim is that it is happening organically, right now. The growth of the red states shows that. Further, the red states enacting laws against butchering and poisoning children in the name of gender affirmation is a kind of defensive perimeter. Dittos for the elimination of DEI in their schools.
I would think that real estate values in such places will only go up and values in the blue states and cities will go down. This is not investment advice, just a notion lumbering around in my noggin.

Since we're not so big on normalizing pedophilia, Helensburgh, Scotland looks to be outside of our trenches also.
I'd just like to say in that news report, those slight irregularities in the street that they show does not qualify as a pot hole. That was better than every street in St Paul at the end the 2022-2023 winter.
ReplyDeleteMy line is my county right now. It seems to be holding. Outstate in Minnesota, seems to mostly be holding. It's a battle, against the worst Governor in Minnesota history, and a triumpant of radical leftists holding every state level office, a dominate 43-42 advantage in the senate (when you count the one under felony indictment. And a majority in the house.
Outstate is defined as not 7-country Twin Cities area, not St Cloud, not Rochester, and not Duluth.
If it weren't for my son in Roseville, and my inlaw, I'd be pushing hard to leave this state.
