30%? I can understand the concern.

Better to have less police and fire fighters than a dreaded soda tax.

I don't think that bulldozing and starting over is entirely unreasonable.

What's the point of bulldozing the city? Really? That's retarded. Where are people going to live while you bulldoze a whole city? You bulldoze it and rebuild then what? It's the rust belt. There are reasons why the city is piss poor (median household income is ~$20K). You're not addressing those reasons by demolishing an entire city and rebuilding it. That's just a waste because as soon as you rebuild it, it'll turn right back into a crime-ridden shithole. What are you suggesting to prevent that from happening?

You said:
I don't think that bulldozing and starting over is entirely unreasonable. That implies rebuilding.

And you're absurd if you think most of a city of 30,000 people are criminals. If anything, most of them are being terrorized by crime.

And you want to reduce a city of 30,000 people to being homeless? Where are they going to go? Hell, where are the criminals going to go but to neighboring counties and commit crimes there?

Wait a second... East St. Louis has cops!??

Is it the most violent, David? Remember places like Detroit and Gary, Indiana. It's a race.
