Amazing.
Except that's not what caused retail stores to close.. Not being able to compete with online shipping and rising rent costs is what's lead to retail stores closing
I don't think anyone states are drains on the economy.
Yes, absolutely. Worsening economic conditions of the middle class and widening the divide between the haves and have nots is why people steal.
Actually, we looted the shit out of our malls in Chicago. Pillaged them into extinction. The transgender athletes can run fast and carry a lot out of Claries, Cinnabon and Foot Locker.
Yes, absolutely. Worsening economic conditions of the middle class and widening the divide between the haves and have nots is why people steal.
I would love to see some of data to support your claims, but I know how this sort of thing goes. Starts with "ITS HAPPENING EVERYWHERE!!!" to then "Well, you see, it happened a few times but still 1 is too many!".
Myth vs. Reality: Trends in Retail Theft
Despite spikes in some cities, crime data doesn’t show a nationwide increase in shoplifting and other forms of retail theft.www.brennancenter.org
You know what else helped kill these stories?Yes, absolutely. Worsening economic conditions of the middle class and widening the divide between the haves and have nots is why people steal.

Not entirely true. A year or two ago, there were retailors in Portland(?) that were closing stores. The CEO's referenced theft as the reason.
So the larceny rates decreasing, what does that tell you.
Because cities like SF have effectively stopped enforcing any petty theft laws. The felony limit has been raised to $950 and no arrests are made for misdemeanor theft nor do the charges stack up. Just because you aren’t enforcing laws and you can say “Larceny rates are going down” doesn’t make it true. Stores closing due to insane loss in theft and security measures like locked up toothpaste shown above do not jive at all with claims that larceny is lowering.

Target to close 3 Bay Area stores because of retail theft; 6 other stores closing in New York, Portland, Seattle
The prevalence of organized retail theft is forcing Target Corporation to close nine stores in four states, including three in the Bay Area, the company announced Tuesday.
“Earlier this year, Target said it expected theft-related losses at its stores could top $1.2 billion this fiscal year. CEO Brian Cornell told analysts last month that violent incidents against Target workers jumped 120% for the first five months of the year compared to the same period last year.”
It tells me it went down. It’s a start, but the real measure of progress is it dipping below pre-spike averages? Like Joe talking about gas going down fifty cents after it went up $1.00.
“See larceny rates are decreasing, look at what the police said!”
Chicago (where I am right now) is fine from Wacker to Wrigley. It’s the rest where you just don’t go. Police are up and down the magnificent mile because that’s tourism and money. This area has above average crime but it’s normal city life here. Go south loop and beyond and it’s an adventure. Even on wacker I’ve seen tons of homeless, pooping, drugs, and that crap.
You can’t even figure out who my government is, is it Canadian or American? Lol
I mean I've seen that in pretty much every city. Do you think FL has cities without issue because it votes republican?
We at least fire our Soros funded prosecutors that refuse to do their job and actually enforce laws.
Zero chance Harris would have the balls to go on a media that is not going to actively aid her during the debate. Trump would be dumb not to agree to it.
Funny story. I was looking for a former mayor of Gary about 2-3 months ago to question about a something… found the guy sitting in his own piss higher than kite (not marijuana high)and refused to talk to a whitey in a suit.

Miami has a Republican governor and mayor. Miami has much of the same issues other cities do.
I’ve got some news for you brother lol.
