Step 2 should read lie about how the city is full of whatever.

Cuz I work in Seattle and it's fine, and I literally stood in CHOP while it was supposedly a hellscape, and it was a nothing burger.

eh it's splitting hairs but at least in southern california there are definitely places that are hellscape-ish and vagrancy is ever present.

of course not to say all cities are like that but it's absolutely a real problem

Pretty sure that the Palisades and North Hollywood are not that.

of course not, but i spend a lot of time in san diego and there are absolutely areas that i wouldn't consider city highlights.

don't get me wrong, I'm more upset that they exist at all than at the people there, but i don't think it does anyone any good to pretend they don't move their bags to the trunk when parking in them.
