how are U.S. cities in decay?
just asking,i`m not american.
Folks have been commenting on here and Foriegners visting of how dirty the U.S. Cities are.
Many have crumbling infrastructure.
Crime riddled yet they claim crime is down.
For example I am in New Orleans now. Shootings and Murders dominate everyday. Guys that I am working with had to abandon a Cell site they were working at because people were shooting in the parking lot across from them.
The New Orleans Police never report the events. They put them down as other not so violent things such as domestic dispute with babysitter.
I don't know what cities you are talking about but big cities I've gone to are looking great. San Francisco is a great big city, so is Seattle. I don't see how you could think our cities are in decay...
I've always wanted to visit both cities and they do look nice but can you find a European city that is as bad as St. Louis, Detroit, Gary Indiana, New Orleans, Hartford? Off the top of my head, I can't think of any.
How about any eastern european city? We are one of the largest countries in the world, of course we are gonna have some not so nice cities. These pictures are pointless anyway. They are pictures of either a skyline or of one or two streets. There are poverty areas in them just like any other city.
I still like looking at them though, I've always liked big cities. They are just kinda misleading.
I'm not saying their isn't poverty but I can't think of a big city in Europe that is as crime infested/run down as Detroit. As you drive through the city, their are thousands of abandoned or burned down homes and hundreds of empty buildings. It looks like a bomb was dropped on the city.
