It's all the victimhood culture. They are not victims they are the perps, the predators. No matter what excuse you make, there are other citizen raise in the same economic and social conditions these perps were and they did not make the self destructive choices the perps made. They are not to be pitied. They exist solely for themselves.

#3 So, they will bribe the business to come and then take a hands-off approach to the drug activity, street defecation and shoplifting. That's bound to work out well.

#4 Three months of free rent and then they start losing money? What about security? What about insurance? Who's gonna pay for that? I'd take a pass on this offer.
