So people and businesses are fleeing the Bay Area, leaving what used to be valuable properties behind. Well, guess what is happening?
Those vacant buildings are being purchased for very cheap prices, and then being turned into nice housing and locked up boutiques. I spoke a while ago about going to a women's clothing store I liked, and it was marked 'Open', but the door was locked. A clerk walked to the door, and looked me over, and then pressed a button and I was let in. The door was locked behind me. So, the News and other Programming Facilities speak about 'Gentryfying' the ghettos. Hells Bells, those places were NOT in a 'ghetto'...until the businesses left because of the crime and shoplifting. And, the 'Enlightened Rulers' say that a Shopkeeper can't use a weapon to protect his store. So, of course the THUGS are just going to walk in, and walk out with ALL that they can carry.
I studied Law, and it is legal, according to English Common Law, to use Deadly Force to protect a business. And, OF COURSE IT SHOULD BE!!! I value human life, but a person who tries to pillage a business is asking for it, if they resist. I am not saying that we should shoot children who pocket a candy bar, but when a man is facing a mob intent on stealing everything that isn't nailed down, well...that is another thing! People back off when someone is holding a gun!
So, it kinda looks like there was a plot to temporarily devalue property values for a while, by letting thugs run wild under the guise of 'Compassion'...and now that the devalued properties are being bought up...the thugs are being locked up and the Mayors are calling for 'Law and Order'.
So, as they say...
...I shoulda gotten in while the gettin was GOOD!!!
BUT!!!!!!!!!!!!! Now that the businesses are being re-opened, the Police are being told to enforce the Law. The Mayors of SF and Oakland are calling to crack down on crime!!! It is because the Rich People came in and bought all of the properties, and are telling the DAMN Politicians to enforce the Laws.
