While this is happening in CA and NY as you said (also Chicago, Minneapolis, and other deep blue cities), don't think that it's an inevitable thing nationwide. Normal people don't, and won't, live like that. Law and order, and personal responsibility still mean something out here in the heartland.
I'll give you two small examples of this. About a year ago a spot along my drive from my home to the gym, a location near an interstate that runs through our area, an overnight homeless camp sprung up. This is near some businesses, a school, a church, and some apartment buildings.
I thought, "Oh my God, where did THESE people come from?!" I spent about 2 hours at the gym, stopped for some lunch, and as I drove home, that spot had been cleared out and cleaned out. One county sheriff's car was there as the last bit of trash was being removed. That's how you do it...zero tolearnce for that kind of behavior.
The same thing happened in an area about 5 miles away, also near the interstate, and it was GONE in about 18 hours.
These are not isolated incidents, all across America there are good communities that simply will not tolerate their places being sullied by criminals, homeless, and illegal immigrants. We do have occasional crimes here by those people, but they are handled swiftly and to the full extent of the law.
So no, while CA and NY (etc.) may choose slow societal suicide, the rest of the nation is not going down that path.
I agree. I live in a deep blue state. I also live in a very large town. Our mayor will not put up with this kind of behavior. He has spent so much of his time making the town better (getting rid of abandoned buildings, making parks nicer, bringing in more business). My state is also a sanctuary state. When the first bus of illegals came to our town, he kicked them out. We also have a large, well-paid police force.
I'd rather not say where I live but the mayor is from India originally. We have a lot of immigrants from India who are high tech workers (H1B Visas) and they will not put up with shit policies. Many of these people invest in buying homes that they rent out and they do not want the home values to go down because of homeliness tents nearby.
