That’s only if you go by data and statistics.
Anecdotally, you can paint whatever picture you like depending on the headline you choose to read.

When you walk and drive through those streets you see what’s really going on. Nothing has changed .

I walk and drive them daily. I see luxury apartments being built, corporations moving in, parks being built, as well as restaurants opening up.
Like any city, it has its good and bad parts. That’s my anecdotal evidence, check the statistics for the entire picture…. Or selectively read headlines and generalize an entire city based on an article.

We wouldn't want the stats to get in the way of your views. Please, continue.

First off, you're talking complete bollocks.
Second, if it's so shitty and undesirable to you, then stay the fuck out of our city and our sub. You don't want to be here & we don't want you here - the solution seems simple.

Lol what is this comment supposed to do ? Throw more cynicism on to a already slow growing city ? You doing community service or something to balance out this attitude ?

It’s no different than the post just showing the reality . People on here want to make believe things are getting better when they are not , then get upset when they are confronted with reality .

No the post itself is the reality, your comment is added cynicism meant to mock people who see positives. This post doesn’t erase the growth the city has seen, but it fits into the story. Whereas your comment has nothing to do with painting the picture, it’s just meant to be snide. It’s not as if people are any more or less aware with your comment added to the news article.

Friend, there's no such things as a city where murders don't happen.
