All they need to do is ask some of the former mayors of Detroit, Kansas City, Chicago, and Houston. In all those cities, I saw what were once upscale shopping malls- which were big cash cows for tax revenue- become surrounded by decaying neighborhoods so that consequently all the vendors moved out and the place became a glorified flea market while sales plummeted. Subsequently, everything was funded by Federal Subsidies- even the Greyhound Bus Station and the Airport, while the downtown became a hellhole. Then the ghetto "culture" moves in- hookers on every corner, drug pushers in every alley, and everything a target for drive by gunners.
