  • Migrant/Homeless crisis

    From Mike Powell@1:2320/105 to AARON THOMAS on Tue Nov 7 09:16:00 2023
    The migrant crisis isn't affecting very many cities yet.

    It may not be, but the homeless crisis is. One of these days I need to
    take my car camera video and piece together a video of all of the homeless encampments I passed on my trip out west. In parts of LA, it was horrible.
    It was also not good in ABQ and several other towns.

    I did not get it all on camera, though, as some of the stuff I came across
    was while on foot.

    Gas is still cheaper than it was during Obama's admin.

    But still much higher than under Trump.

    Most certainly so. Around here, I am not so sure they are not close to Obama-era prices (which were never as high here as elsewhere).

    Crime seems the same as usual.

    Around my place, I'd say yes. But in the larger city near by, crime is significantly higher.

    But there's a reason why this is happening in Left-run communities and not in more rural areas.

    Yep.

    Homelessness has always been an issue in ABQ, and I think people would say the same about California also. Since the issues are not new, I'm afraid that the voters won't feel the need to do something about it.
