What Is Happening To Our Wealthiest Cities Clearly Demonstrates America’s Rapid Decline

The wealthiest cities in the United States are getting infested by addicts, delinquents, and homeless people, and no matter what alleged “solutions” our politicians come up with those issues just continue to get worse. The landscape of once-prosperous areas just looks disgusting -- almost like something out of a post-apocalyptic horror movie. If things are this bad right now, what will those streets look like when the recession starts gaining steam in the months ahead, and deteriorating economic conditions begin affecting everyone’s lives?
We’re watching our major urban centers rot from within. Even in the richest cities in the whole country, filth and misery are everywhere. Places like New York, the financial capital of the entire globe, and San Francisco, one of the greatest tech hubs in the world, are not spare from rampant rates of delinquencies and severe offenses, people using illicit substances in the middle of the streets in broad daylight, and a surge in the homeless population that is just gut-wrenching.
In fact, local reports detail that New York City’s homeless problem does not appear to be getting any better despite the almost $6 billion in federal funds sent to the local government to introduce programs that could help alleviate the issue. According to the Coalition for the Homeless, the numbers have actually hit an all-time high. They claim the average number of people sleeping in a shelter every night climbed to nearly 66,000 in the past quarter. However, the city’s homeless population is estimated at 126,000 people, which means that a large share of that group is sleeping on the streets. The coalition stressed that the main reason these numbers are this high is because the city has failed to provide adequate affordable housing.
At the same time, the downward spiral that we are witnessing in San Francisco is unquestionably disturbing. On Twitter, one resident share footage of what downtown San Francisco looks like on any given day, and the images are truly shocking. “This is what the kids in San Francisco are forced to walk past every day,” the user wrote. Substance abuse, feces, needles, adults slumped over with exposed wounds, and addicts suffering from mental illness screaming in the streets. “The streets are truly scary to walk down,” she emphasized.
It seems that everywhere we look, we can see that some of our beloved communities are degenerating into rapidly decaying hellholes and our streets are filled with ruthless predators. It is clear that America is descending into lawlessness. The thin veneer of civilization that we all depend upon every day is disappearing at an alarming pace, and if we stay on this path our society will soon be completely unrecognizable. Once upon a time, the United States was such a lovely place to be. But now, this is what our country is looking like. We are rapidly becoming a dystopian society, and that is because we have rejected the values that this nation was founded upon.
If nothing changes, we’re going to be swallowed up by these issues. Ignoring what is happening is not going to make it go away. Social decay is systematically destroying the foundations of our civilization, and at this point, it has become evident that America’s decline is really starting to accelerate.
