McGovern guy says it's the suburbanites fault for not coming anymore due to their "perception of crime in the District". But also he can't afford security for all the burglaries and assaults on his employees.

Biden’s Migrant Crisis Overflows Tax-Funded Shelters in Detroit, Sends Migrants to Private Homes
The African Bureau for Immigration and Social Affairs — an NGO that settles and cares for African migrants trying settle in the U.S. — is heading up the effort to find places for illegals to shelter in the Motor City. The group’s founder, Senegalese native Seydi Starr, told the Detroit News that Detroit has been working since last year to implement a support network for illegals. And this year the crisis is worse than ever.
“We’ve been calling on administrators. … We have seen the lack of supportive services for that specific community primarily working with Black immigrants,” Starr said, according to the paper. “… We have been working to secure the understanding that these people are here, and something needs to be done about it.”
But David Bowser, chief of housing solutions and support services at Detroit’s Housing and Revitalization Department, says the city is handling the border crisis influx.
“And we stay in daily touch with our homeless outreach agencies to manage Detroit’s homeless population,” Bowser said. “Despite occasional dire predictions, these efforts have continued to successfully prevent Detroit from experiencing tent cities popping up as has been seen in other communities.”
Starr, though is not nearly as sure as Bowser.

Portland Facing Shigella Outbreak, Generally Found in Third-World Countries
Oregon officials have embraced homelessness so much that last April, my colleague Mike LaChance reported that Democrats in the state proposed a law that would expand the rights of homeless people by decriminalizing encampments and allowing homeless people to sue if they feel harassed.
As a result of poor policy and a disregard for true public health and safety concerns, the most populous city in that state is now experiencing a bacterial outbreak found usually in sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia.
Shigella infections lead to profuse diarrhea, fever, and stomach pains…and these symptoms can last for weeks. Sometimes, bowel habits (frequency and stool consistency) do not return to normal for several months. And, as an added bonus, in addition to being spread by fecal matter, Shigella can be transmitted via sexual contact.

San Fran Resident Decries Attack on 'Food Justice' as Neighborhood Safeway Is Set to Close Due to Crime
Recently the grocery store chain Safeway announced plans to close a location that had been in the Fillmore District of San Fransisco for 40 years. At the time of the announcement Safeway didn't give a reason for the closure, noting simply that they would be reassigning employees at that location to other locations and that was about that. But given issues with extremely high crime have plagued the city for seemingly ages now we can make a decent guess as to the calculus that went into the decision by Safeway corporate to shutter the store. This is the same store, after all, that made news in the area last year when they shut down all of their self-service checkout options in order to combat retail theft among other measures taken to try to curb loitering and crime in the area of the store. The question isn't why are the leaving, the question is why did they stay so long, right?
But to some locals it seems that they believe that this is an issue of 'food justice', whatever that means, apparently believing that Safeway is required to put up with theft from their stores. This closing is clearly the consequence of the actions of some (but clearly not all) of the same people who had been benefitting from the stores presence, and at the end of the day no private company is required to maintain operation anywhere. But clearly the angry San Franciscans don't understand this. Watch:

THIS - is brilliant - I am keeping it.
"One of the problems with replacing religion with politics as the sole source of spiritual significance and sustenance in people’s lives is that it makes it functionally impossible to course correct when reality tells you your worldview is wrong."
NO kidding. It's hard enough when it IS religion.

Illinois Gov. Pritzker begs Texas Gov. Abbott to STOP sending migrants who've crossed the border while life-threatening winter storm tears through his state
- Governor JB Pritzker penned an open letter to Governor Abbott on Friday
- He urged the Texas leader to show 'mercy' to families being bussed to his state as part of Operation Lonestar amid a ferocious winter storm
- Chicago is due to be battered by Storm Gerri over the weekend which will send temperatures plunging to -2F
The Governor of Illinois has begged Texas Governor Greg Abbott to stop bussing migrants to his state ahead of a life-threatening winter storm.
Governor JB Pritzker warned carrying out the policy amid plunging temperatures is jeopardizing the safety of migrant children and families.
And with the mercury set to plummet even further at the weekend, he has begged Abbott 'for mercy' on behalf of the thousands of migrants arriving in Texas who are due to be sent off to Illinois' sanctuary cities.
Storm Gerri has already brought extreme weather to the Midwest. On Saturday temperatures in Chicago are expected to drop to just -2F. Many of the migrants being dropped off in Illinois are arriving without coats or winter shoes, Governor Pritzker warned.
'Please, while winter is threatening vulnerable people's lives, suspend your transports and do not send more people to our state,' he wrote in an open letter to Governor Abbot on Friday.

EASY solution. Change the “sanctuary city”thing. It was a great big pile of virtue signaling to declare yourself one SO LONG AS YOU NEVER HAD TO MAKE GOOD ON IT.
See, it was so easy to do it when the flow of illegals was a trickle - but DECLARING yourself one encouraged the massive crowds to pour over the border in Texas, Arizona and Florida. You can’t handle a few thousand? Try half a MILLION. Every year. That’s what the cost is to THEM when you tell the world that you’re rolling out the red carpet.
Sorry. DON’T feel sorry for you. Say you’re no longer a sanctuary city. That’s the price.
Walgreens Closing Boston Location in Poor Neighborhood Due to Theft, Locals Outraged (VIDEO)
Walgreens is closing a store in a lower income neighborhood of Boston due to rampant theft and the people who live there are outraged. They’re actually protesting the store over news of the closure.
This is a familiar chain of events in liberal cities. The Democrats who run the city allow theft and don’t punish criminals. Then the store decides to close and suddenly everyone is angry at the store instead of the people who actually caused the problem.
This is going to happen in more and more cities until Democrats decide they want to punish crime.

Here’s the video report:
