Indeed, Getin, the radical Democrat Socialists want to do to America what they have done to most of the larger cities in America.

I was almost ready to agree with you until I read the last sentence. Yep, you're still a leftist hack.
Yes, Snowflake, all of your posts are non sequiturs.
She is an apologist for the failures of the Democrats who control most of the larger cities in America.
“It’s not our fault.”
Hell, yes. iIt is your fault.
We can live like Queens in areas with weaker economies like that. It's the same reason people retire to places in Mexico and the Caribbean. You see it around the world, too. You'll see people from wealthier European countries like Switzerland, Germany, or the UK retiring to more economically distressed European countries like Portugal, Spain, Italy, and Greece, because their money will go farther. Likewise, in Asia, a large number of Japanese people retire in Malaysia, and you'll find lots of ex-pat Australians retired in places like Thailand. When economic mismanagement has held earnings down in an area, a person can take the bankroll she built up while living in a high-productivity/high-education market, and retire in luxury in that poorer area. It works particularly well for homeowners -- for example, you can sell a fairly modest $600,000 home somewhere near a West Coast or Northeastern city, and use the money to buy a luxurious retirement home in a poorer area, with money left over for vacations, etc. Especially if you're willing to buy in a rural area, you could get a McMansion for half the money.

In San Francisco, people call the city's telephone hotline about 65 times a day to report piles of human faeces on streets and footpaths.
That adds up to 14,597 calls placed to 311 between January 1 and August 13, the San Franshitsco Chronicle reports.
Now, city officials are ramping up their response to San Francisco's "poop problem".
Starting next month, a team of five Public Works employees will take to the streets of San Francshitsco's grittiest neighborhood, the Tenderloin, in a vehicle equipped with a steam cleaner.
They will ride around the alleys to clean piles of poop before city denizens have a chance to complain about them, the Chronicle reports.
The poop problem has become a key issue for new Mayor London Breed of San Franshitsco.
"I will say there is more feces than I've ever seen here," Breed told NBC in a recent interview.
The feces is a symptom of a much broader issue.

Giuliani made a significant improvement in NY. It's not like it can't be done.

If you're happy with your Ford Fiesta and you think those who, instead, buy a BMW 5-series are just paying a premium for the same thing, then that's great for you. Enjoy your Fiesta. But the market represents the collective wisdom of people in general, when they're putting their money where their mouths are. Collectively, people have determined those BMWs are worth a lot more, and collectively they've also determined that living in those liberal, urban cities is effectively a luxury worth shelling big money out for, whereas living in rural areas is not.
You are dreaming.
Stop trying to make "fetch" happen. It's not going to happen.
I was curious how long wingnuts had been trying and failing to rebrand Hoovervilles as "Pelosi villages." The first appearance of "pelosi villages" I could find was September 17, 2014, on Twitter, by a MAGA-head going by the name of "Elizabeth Templar" (presumably a pseudonym for some troll farm denizen). Then about a year later, another right-wing twitter account tweeted it. So, the trolls have been orchestrating an attempt to make this meme catch hold for years, with no success. Californians are definitely not calling homeless camps "Pelosi villages," but there are people who are sure they'll be able to convince right-wing imbeciles that they are.
The last sentence bothered you because you don't like to think of yourself as a credulous right-wing hack. But there it is.
You live in gated communities and are told what improvements you can and cannot make, among other restrictions. Stay there. I'll enjoy the freedom to do what I want, when I want and how I want.
Oh, and the BMW? Nah, too expensive to maintain. I have something much faster anyway. Had a Lincoln before that.

“Nancy Pelosi has behaved so irrationally & has gone so far to the left that she has now officially become a Radical Democrat,” reads one post by the president. “She is so petrified of the ‘lefties’ in her party that she has lost control…And by the way, clean up the streets in San Francisco, they are disgusting!”
LA too, another Pelosi Village.

Not at all. Let's say you work in NYC and own a median home in Brooklyn. As of 2018, at least, that was worth about $808,000:

And let's say you were willing to step back, in retirement, to a much less desirable location. For example, let's say you are willing to live somewhere like Pine Bluff, Arkansas. Here's a McMansion there for $73,324 (5 bed, 2.5 bath, 4,398 sq ft):
https://www.zillow.com/homedetails/1700-S-Olive-St-Pine-Bluff-AR-71601/76210386_zpid/
You could buy yourself that place for the money you made selling in Brooklyn, and have $734,676 left over. If you stuck that into an index fund making 10% per year, you could produce $73,468 per year for life. And with the crappy local pay scales in Pine Bluff, you could hire yourself a couple full-time domestic servants with that money, with plenty left over (even if you paid them each enough to fund a median household in the area, it would cost $64,996, leaving you enough left over for a couple nice vacations per year.)
It's a smart move, if you can stomach living in such a place. With the wealth you accumulated in a productive part of the country, you can go and live like a queen in a less productive part.
Why would I do that? It's so much more fun to make you melt down by pointing out your credulousness. Weep all you want, but I'm not going anywhere.
I've never lived in a gated community. They're not really a thing in my part of the country. They're more common in areas where conservative neglect has transformed poor communities into a hellscape, such that people with means spend their money trying to wall themselves off from the problems, rather than fixing them.
