    there was also the Canal also a nearby asbestos factory remediated into a nuclear waste storage that ended up in obvious environmental disaster. The area is riddled with them.

    In my opinion the city is still a unique shithole and it’s gotten SIGNIFICANTLY better (due to migration, much to the chud’s chagrin) but it’s got one of the lowest income rates out of any major city in the U.S with some areas still entirely abandoned/demunincipalized with rampant drug-use, alcoholism and violence. Average income is 30k.

      Yeah that canal is currently a homeless encampment with 100 people the city is trying to displace because it’s a flood plain. It probably actually is a flood plain. Oh well, not like there’s multiple rotting office building or anything we could put the people in.

        no no you see we need to spend a record-breaking billion dollars in federal funds on condos in a city with an average income of 30k and then retire as a casino executive. (actually fucking happened)
