I was reading last night about how with broadband becoming standard everywhere, there’s no reason Omaha and Austin wouldn’t steal the creative class from New York.
The places with the toughest challenge today are former 2nd and 3rd-tier industrial cities which have not made the transformation to a new economic base. Think of places like Utica, NY, Camden, NJ or Scranton, PA.
Some of these cities, however, are coming under a new type of realistic leadership. Rather than looking to be a ward of the federal or state government, they are “downsizing” the city and its services. In Youngstown, Ohio, for instance, sections of the city are being “demapped” and returned to parkland. The city is offering the remaining residents in those areas relocation assistance. If they insist on staying, the city is telling them that they are “off the grid”. Rochester, NY and Detroit are doing the same thing.
i feel like a gun on my person just couldn’t be a good thing…
i do believe people have the right to keep guns in their homes for protection tho. not so comfortable with the idea of people carrying them on the street.

“People say it’s dangerous for guns to be available for legal purchase in the ghetto.
That’s exactly 180 degrees wrong.
That’s EXACTLY where people need to have ready access to lawfully purchased firearms.
Forcing you to be subservient and to rely on the state for protection is a recipe for abuse of state power and underprotection.”
yeah – only if the legal system can tell the difference between the “good guys” and the “bad guys” in the ghetto.
Camden been in the muck of corruption for years. Building an aquarium and a lite rail line from trenton did little.
Maybe I’ve finally found my calling. I can start a non-profit dedicated to getting guns in the good guys’ hands.
Like the police?
Tying together several thoughts in today’s OT.

This is in-line with Lech’s comments above.

Additionally, were it not for the unions, the city would have been able to cut pay across the board and fired NO ONE.
The unions are directly to blame for this.
