No, it's not. EVERY progressive run city turns into a balkanized shithole. The poor and middle class must dodge bullets and piles of shit in their neighborhoods, while the rich enjoy a nice area behind their walls.
Yeah, it's stupid. It borders on retarded.
Comparing something so small to something so big is stupid...
Only because it proves progressive policies are horrible for the poor and the middle class. Compare a big, non progressive town with Baltimore. Hell, compare Seattle from 4 decades ago with what it has become.
Compare ANY large city from 50 years ago to what it has become now after half a century of progressive leaders.
