Sounds like prime material for "Go back where you came from!".......and fix it.

That is a great idea. They could essentially be like prisons without walls and contain all the loonies. Order would break down and there would be rule by roving warlords.

The only thing that would be illegal would be "racism", which would receive the death penalty.
It's starting feel like this already in leftist cities.

Ben Shapiro is leaving California? My biggest worry is whether I should throw an impromptu party today or a more organized one for next weekend. Maybe he can influence Darrell Isaa and Duncan Hunter to leave as well!

As a bit of a joke years ago one Oregon govenor was quoted saying come visit but don't move here.

Moves out of California are primarily homeowners ready to retire who want to capture their capital gains by buying cheaper homes. Remember home prices are demand based. Californians will only pay attention when their home values implode.

That's the profound truth and Tulsa, too. For instance, Musk sure didn't want to set up his new Tesla truck assembly plant in Tulsa.

Yep-

Prisons without walls. That is why I am perfectly fine with BLM and ANTIFA burning liberal cities. With all the violence and anarchy, the inability of the left to maintain order is on full display. Being contained in the liberal cities keeps the rest of us unaffected by the leftist violence. Ironic, isn't it- the libs are pissed off at conservatives so they burn liberal cities and kick the crap out of other dems.

A few Starbucks commandoes have run roughshod over large cities unchecked. Imagine how the dem politicians would deal with a real crisis if they can't handle a few girlie men with trash can shields.

The economics are created by years of Democrat policies. State economies do not happen by luck.

Mobile Alabama may not be growing much, but I think Huntsville is; if I recall.

With the Democrat legacy of failure in all these cities and states, why would anyone want to vote for that?

Democrat policies do not work for most people. They fail over and over again for most...except the crooked Dem politicians who milk society, and the system....like Joe Biden has done using his family as 3rd party graft collectors.

Unfortunately, that seems to be the case in Prescott, AZ where my home is.

Minneapolis crime is really bad right now. The city also decided on a multi million dollar tax increase (again!) to purchase a couple of hotels for the homeless to be housed in. I am sure the SFH owners around these hotels will be thrilled with the tax increase and their new neighbors.
