functional cities were utterly destroyed by retards building highways in the mid 20th century. no one cares about a nice mid century modern if you're breathing exhaust all day and it's 25 minutes to walk to the pedestrian overpass to get to a store 0.75 miles away

>How do such kino houses fall apart?

The economy of some cities like Detroit and Baltimore were based on private industry which is now long gone to asia. Other cities like Washington DC are based on corruption, lobbying and government jobs so if those buildings were in Georgetown they would be worth a fortune now.

Home repair is expensive, especially when done by by licensed contractors.
“Proper home repair” is way more expensive, and usually requires vetting multiple contractors, and redoing work, because most contractors just have surface knowledge, particularly of old construction methods, and proper technique and materials.
Even “This Old House” routinely did crap work on occasion, and those were guys with decades of experience.
Add in old houses, in my cities with low wages, and crap job prospects, and the problems get amplified.
Add in bureaucratic bullshit, and permit fees, usually done inspectors who are morons, and the above issues all get way worse.
At a certain point, a knowledgeable person can do repairs without issue, because no one cares any longer about unlicensed work, but it usually requires waiting till the area is complete shit.

i keep hearing some fag say that the real Baltimore only has a few blocks that are bad like in the Wire, show definitely made it seem much bigger

It was so much worse in the 70s & 80s, not just cities but the crime rate as well.

The crime rate was super fucking high in the 1970s/1980s. It exploded during the late 60s and peaked in the early 90s with the crack epidemic.

The 1994 crime bill completely dropped the crime rate

Poor people tend to not be intelligent so they aren't taught how to maintain a house properly, and also if something breaks or needs replacement they don't have money for it so they just let it go and thus leading to more problems for the house until it becomes a slum.

i live in baltimore. the economy has nothing to do with it. there are poor white neighborhoods in the city that never become abandoned nor do the homes all crumble. what you see here is west baltimore. nobody goes there it was always the worst of the worst. as the years went on those people after destroying that area spread to other neighborhoods in the city and destroyed those areas as well

The Navy resisted having the U.S.S. Constellation built there in the 1790's due to the unsavory character of the inhabitants which means it's been a shithole all along.

most are renters so the landlord is in charge of repairs. even if the renter wanted to do the repair themselves they arent allowed and most of the time the landlords dont bother to repair homes in the projects

What's even funnier is that dumbass show inspired legions of cracker hipsters to move there and try to gentrify it, and they've failed utterly:
>https://removepaywalls.com/https://medium.com/@TraceyHalvorsen/baltimore-city-youre-breaking-my-heart-1873a505ce2a

The first indication that some cracker liberal is a transplant is they insist on calling it Baltimore City to distinguish it from the county, which everyone but tourists understands already anyway.

I will never understand the fascination white liberals have with The Wire or their gullibility in general. They honestly think this shit has some PhD-level sociology to it when the answer is simply niggers fucking ruin everything. They honestly think it needs five seasons of premium cable to flesh out. They even need to take to the internet to cry out their frustrations in their blogs and comment sections and God knows what else to try and rationalize it.

slumlord... is a slang term for a landlord, generally an absentee landlord with more than one property, who attempts to maximize profit by minimizing spending on property maintenance. slumlords usually do not contract with property management services, do very little or no maintenance on their property, sometimes just enough to meet minimum local requirements for habitability. a slumlord may also hope that his property will eventually be purchased by a government for more money than it is worth as a part of urban renewal, or by investors as the neighborhood in which it is situated undergoes gentrification.

>>211470301
Because cities reward it. If your property because a shit hole along with a big enough area they will give their construction crony buddies tax breaks to develop it which means the property is worth more which means the city can collect more property tax.

it did play a role doe. highways rendered the steel belt's location and railroad/waterway advantage obsolete overnight. it meant that mister shekelbert could start a factory into less union-y, cheaper places without losing the ease of moving/accessing goods that the steel belt once provided. as factories moved out so did jobs, and taxes needed for public maintenance.

Vancouver is not some economic utopia. Jobs wise, Toronto mogs Vancouver. Both are overpriced but Toronto has the most jobs of any Canadian city. Whereas Vancouver is overpriced and doesn't have that many jobs to begin with. If your friends moved here then I'd bet they're struggling.

Not only that. The system rewards falsifying as whoever is on the top of the (FBI's?) list as the best performers get the most funding. So what happens is that a lot of DAs refuse to prosecute criminals or even if they can't avoid it only do the minimum. Which means even if the police do their job and bring in criminals they often walk as if nothing happened, meanwhile the situation on the streets that directly affects the citizen's living quality is notably derogates despite what the pretty statistics saying.

I used to travel the country for work, visiting the south was always fucking depressing because I knew if I had to drive for a few hours anywhere that it was going to be the most incompetent display of infrastructure management and poverty I had seen to date. I do not know how people have pride in that region.

it’s mostly what the other guy said about lead and abortions, black incarceration rates are dropping historically for some time. if you get shit out of the water making people angry and allow them to kill babies that would grow up to be knockout game MVPs then the world is a better place. who knew.

>>211484299
yeah old buildings are nice and all (I was just in prague - beautiful city) but they're also not that nice to live in. they're not up to code. they're not earthquake resistant. they're not properly insulated. we build new buildings because new buildings are safer and nice to live in.

>>211494226
>black incarceration rates are dropping historically for some time

yes, because of depolicing you stupid fuck

there have literally been meta-analyses showing that blacks at every income level and age are vastly more likely to be incarcerated than any other race. there are genteel middle class blacks that still have atrocious rates of criminality compared to their white counterparts. this has remained true up to the modern day. are they all victims of inner city lead poisoning too?

the biggest causal factor is blackness.

Two factor explanation makes it a more complicated theory anon, hence the modifier simpler. You know, occams razor, freshman level stuff. Also leaded gasoline was banned well i to the downswing of the crime rate, but I do appreciate the biological explanation you propose for the cause of crime instead of muh socioeconomic factors. Doesn't explain why certain people are more susceptible to leaded gasoline exhaust fumes or why more criminally inclined are aborted more, but you'll find your way.

And as you can see from the graph, the population with 15ng/dL and above are consistent until the 2020s, while the crime has dropped.

Save it, I actually live in Detroit. The main thing that killed the city (and many like it) were the UAW and other public unions. This isn't to say all unions are bad, but the rabid UAW completely priced out the American industry from competition. (For much of my life you could buy a jap car for 3-10 thousand dollars cheaper and it would perform better and require less maintenence.)
The Democrat leaders also "gave everyone a job" by simply over-hiring public sector workers. At one point we had 6 Department of Water employees for every 1 in Chicago. With the dwindling tax revenue since the city also turned into a violent black person Utopia it rapidly bled the place dry

>>211495412
I live 90 minutes away, I guess I have no idea what it’s like in Detroit. The erosion of American labor unions and allowing them to be corrupted by interests that don’t benefit labor are hand in hand with the same issue of the labor being sent overseas. Don’t have to worry about caring about unions when you send it all away anyways. Same story in a red state or a blue state, the American political machine has no interest in supporting labor. Biden broke that recent railroad strike after all.

I wonder where labor goes now

Biden and Obama showed that the Democrats have zero interest in supporting labor over corporations despite labor's fervent support of Democrats. Obviously the Republicans mostly despise labor. Unions seem cut adrift from any real political power but their established leadership will stick with supporting Dems, like a beaten wife, while rank-and-file workers probably wonder why they show any support at all for candidates anymore

Some are, like the service workers, but I'd say most union members are indifferent to or opposed to the commie slop that goes along with the left, but for years felt like it was that or oblivion. Now the mask is off and I imagine that a lot of union voters are scratching their heads wondering where to go.

>>211496158
>they're the reason you're not being worked to death right now.
That's not true at all. In Highschool I worked at a non-union shop that was still family run, and there's no incentive to "work people to death" at all. Infact they were the easiest to deal with in terms of employee/employer relationship.

>>211496158
Working qualified workers trained to do a complicatsd job to death isn't a good strategy of resource usage either. Henry Ford pretty much figured that out himself

>>211496228
i forgot that history started when you were in high school.

>>211496158
The problem is there's no counterfactual
You look at countries that had union movements and are first world, and then credit the unions with their workplace being first world
But you can have good work places without unions. You can have first world countries who treat their employees well without a union

>>211496252
it is if it makes line go up

and ford's main contribution to the industrial revolution was figuring out its more profitable to reduce jobs to their simplest possible form, so as anyone can do it, than it is to rely upon skilled labor.

Didn't happen because it makes no sense. Even slaves were not worked to death, especially after the imports slowed down. Only in specific situations where slavery is on a timer (like in gulags) were people actually worked to death.

>>211496455
the same people who say this turn around and complain about immigrants driving down wages and taking american jobs when a strong labor union and protectivist laws for labor would prevent it if the right or left had any interest in supporting american labor. it’s nice that you had a good experience at a mom and pop shop it’s a big country with a lot of amoral people in business who don’t give a shit if they don’t legally have to.

>>211496610

because every improvement in working conditions was paid for with the blood of unionized workers.

>if we're talking about something directly influenced by the armenian genocide
My point is it's an irrelevant topic regardless. When I talk about how it's absolutely retarded that the Department of buttfuck is unionized despite being public sector, talking about kids working in a coal mine 92 years ago is fucking STUPID.

>>211496636
>complain about immigrants
You're just too short sighted. Unions have absolutely nothing to do with preventing immigrants from driving wages down. With cheap labor even at the bottom of the working class sector, ALL jobs across the board experience a drop in wages. Hence the reason a man could afford to feed a family simply by painting houses in the 60s. If he was able to do that, then anyone working jobs above that skill grade automatically made more money,

>>211496679
This is such a silly platitude.

>>211496313
>But you can have good work places without unions
Anon you can have those BECAUSE of unions.
I mean look at the history of the labor movement.
Because people unironically fought and died for certain rights and protections is what caused industry to stop treating its employees like grist for the mill.
Unions were created originally as a unified group to FORCE collective bargaining because companies were just as happy to let you get chewed up in machinery as they were to send someone to your house to break your legs if you complained too loudly.
Eventually there was enough popular support that the government recognized the concerns of industrial laborers and began putting regulations in place to provide for minimal safety.
Once that happened you didn't need to unionize because because the industry already saw how that goes, and were more amenable to collective bargaining.
In other countries that didn't unionize directly were still neighbors to those countries that did and realized if they didn't get ahead of the curve they'd just have to go through the same messy ordeal.
Or as time goes on, they're a developing country and you can swoop in and exploit the couple of decades where you can treat people like meat-robots to get the cheapest treatment.
What unions have become since then is another discussion entirely.

>>211464505
Thanks for reminding me the future astronaut filled cities simply weren't walkable enough, rabbi.

>>211496782
Unions could have everything to do with that if the economic system and labor laws were designed to protect American industry. If anyone in power gave a shit about native labor vs. profit then they’d do something about it, it’s that simple.

>>211464915
>>211465091
Yes actually.

>>211496824
It’s not. Workers were being maimed and dying in factories, and the only thing that pulled them out of sweatshop like conditions into reasonable hours and well paid wages is organized striking and labor. It shouldn’t be controversial for workers to stand up for themselves and every failing and undermining of the labor system in American can be directly linked back to politicians prioritizing personal profit over their voting base.

>>211496782
The history of unions in the first world is always relevant to labor conditions in the first world, to global industry, etc.

yeah that was pretty competent/innovative.

>>211496913
Only because you’re used to America being completely broken. The undermining of American labor resulted in the mob corruption and complete decline because no one had interest in protecting unions or defending laborers from a place of political power that could affect change, and then this is used as justification after the fact that labor organizing doesn’t work when all the profit motivated people have no interest in letting it work.

Do you know anything about what Citizens United was actually about?
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Citizens_United_v._FEC
During the 2004 presidential campaign, the organization filed a complaint with the Federal Election Commission (FEC) charging that advertisements for Michael Moore's film Fahrenheit 9/11, a docudrama critical of the Bush administration's response to the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, constituted political advertising and thus could not be aired within the 30 days before a primary election or 60 days before a general election. The FEC dismissed the complaint after finding no evidence that advertisements featuring a candidate within the proscribed time limits had actually been made.[7] In response, Citizens United produced the documentary Celsius 41.11, which is highly critical of both Fahrenheit 9/11 and 2004 Democratic presidential nominee John Kerry. The FEC, however, held that showing Celsius 41.11 and advertisements for it would violate the Federal Election Campaign Act, because Citizens United was not a bona fide commercial film maker.[8]
Michael Moore movies were being used for political purposes. Republicans tried to play by the same rules as Michael Moore and they get stopped. That's the decision Citizens United is overturning. It is establishing a precedent where Dinesh Dasouzas One Thousand Mules and Bill Maher's Religulous are held to the same standard

>>211497085
>no one had interest in protecting unions or defending laborers from a place of political power that could affect change,

>>211496747
Thats a true statement though. You just conflate unions NOW with unions THEN.
And you also don't realize just how nasty some of these places were to live and work.
My mom lives in a town in south georgia that was originally a "Mill Village" which was a big mill owned by one wealthy family after slavery. They owned the town store, and all the property and housing, you'd go work for them, and they wouldn't pay you in money, you'd get vouchers that could only be redeemed at the town store that they owned and set prices, and pay for room and board, which they also owned and set the prices.
You had no way to save money because you didn't earn money, you earned funbux, and they made sure wages and prices were firmly fixed so everyone was basically forced to work at a deficit. If you wanted to leave you were free to, but its a long walk to the nearest town and odds are good its just another operation like the one you left.
Meanwhile the people who own the mill were filthy rich, and I mean the kind of institutional wealth that still has them living comfortably to this day.

>>211497036
Henry Ford is notable because he believed in supporting his labor because he understood their value in relation to his business. His actions increased productivity and worker happiness because they had work life balances and good wages, things that unions do support in a working system. One example of a manufacturer doing things right doesn’t make for every other amoral business owner that was fine with child labor if it meant paying cents instead of dollars.

>>211497127
>Yeah OSHA laws and our standard work weeks are based on myth.
It's simply a guidance method. As an actual person that's worked in factories, there were plenty of times we would skip "the safe route" because it takes up too much time, is annoying, and impractical. These decisions were made by us without any of the managements input

If OSHA was truly enforced illegal Immigranten labor would not be financially feasible, precisely because of what you allude to.
Let us then agree upon deporting all illegal immigrants and full on adherence to OSHA

>>211497591

>labor organizing doesn’t work when all the profit motivated people have no interest in letting it work.

Unions today don't give a shit about non-unionized workers, they have no interest in expanding unionization, just in getting more for their _own_ union workers and the hell with everybody else.

If you go to the UAW's website for example and try to look up unionization, all it tells you is "talk to your coworkers about getting a union!" which of course will only get you fired when someone rats you out to management.

Unions used to _actively promote unionization_ they went around holding rallies and trying to get non-union shops unionized but nowadays, they just sit on their hands and leave everybody else swinging in the wind.

>>211498253
>Unions today don't give a shit about non-unionized workers

they don't need to. their actions directly affect non-union labor.

>>211498251

>>211498329

>>211498371
Not everyone, just the people actively/audibly seething about it. Such as yourself, right now, in this thread, for hours, while talking about all the hard work you do.

>>211498364
Game. Set. Match.

>>211498411
Right to work doesn't have anything to do with not being able to unionize you stupid fuck, it means they have to represent workers that don't pay dues.
>>211498451
Of course it's easy to double down on your nonsense when you've never actually held a job in your life and have no idea what you're talking about

>>211496030

>>211498532
>Right to work doesn't have anything to do with not being able to unionize
>the term right-to-work laws refers to state laws that prohibit union security agreements

>>211498532
You know its really fun to be objectively correct and backed by historical fact while someone, such as yourself, screams, cries, and shits themselves in response, desperate to shout down facts... because a negro was able to finance an expensive purse.

>>211498588
That anon is right. Right to work doesn't prevent you from joining or forming a union, it prevents unions from requiring that a business force it's employees to join the union as condition of employment. As we all know any deal so good you have to be forced into it is definitely a good deal and in your best interests.

>>211498702
>a union being unable to engage in effective collectively bargaining has nothing to do with being unable to join a union

a union that can't engage in effective collective bargaining may as well not exist.

>>211498588
Yes, you are a fuckin dumbass who is pasting google results that you don't understand

>>211498780
I accept your concession.

>>211498649
Yeah I remember when I was 19 years old and believed what I thought were objective unassailable facts, and then it turns out I was just a immature faggot with 0 life experience!

>>211498282
>>Unions today don't give a shit about non-unionized workers
>they don't need to. their actions directly affect non-union labor.

Only the broadest sense and only after years of foot dragging by corporations bribing politicians to stop it from happening.

Unions need to be setting up tents in front of non-union shops and actively helping workers to unionize and they need to be passing out fliers for mass rallies, etc. Instead, they do fuck all as overall union membership continues to decline.

>>211498776
A union that can't convince new workers to join of their own volition may as well not exist.

Again, if the union actually has a reason for existing and is a good thing, then they should have no problem convincing workers to join.

>>211498814
You've incorrectly interpreted what you copy and pasted since you're young, immature, and have no life experience.

no need to concede twice.

>>211498928
>>other companies, not wanting to deal with a union, provide tolerable work conditions and fair pay
Not wanting to deal with a union is whats going on in your dumb fucking head. In reality as it turns out business owners are normal people who don't have an incentive to treat their employees like slaves

>>211498976

>>211499250
>feel free to walk me through how making it so unions can't form contracts with employers doesn't reduce the ability of unions to collectively bargain.
That's not whats happening you fucking dumbass. Right to work means that when I go and work for the post office, I don't automatically have to give the NALC money out of my checks for representation

>>211499053
I work for a company that has never had a union. In an industry that generally doesn't have unions.

They pay extremely well, offer extensive benefits, health care, offer more PTO and sick time than is required by law, paternity leave that matches maternity leave, and a hundred other incentives. All of that without ever having had to have union involved.

Because there are Capitalists out there that actually care about the people who work for them and want to invest in them. Yeah, a lot of Capitalists suck ass and just exploit people, but anyone who has worked in the real fucking world knows that isn't a universal truth. By that same measure a lot of Union reps are corrupt shitbags who just want an easy skim off the top of hard working people and don't give a shit about actually doing anything to help those workers. The only union i've been (forced) to join in my working life was basically owned lock stock and barrel by the people who owned the stores.

It isn't Capitalism that creates greedy assholes, it's people themselves. It's just how we are. The Soviet Union replaced their Capitalists with greedy fucking middle manager bureaucrats and basically nothing changed except everyone was collectively just a little more miserable.

>>211499312

because there's no contract in place requiring that, because its illegal in right to work states. Meaning there's nothing preventing the summary termination of union workers.

Jesus you really are breakfast tier.

>>211499342
>i don't understand, i did have breakfast.

Unions are why you have those things.

Why do you insist on inventing reality that doesn't exist. No that's not even close, it's virtually impossible to get fired from the post office you dumbass

>>211499592
>why do you insist upon reasoning based upon historical facts rather than a fantasy of benevolent capitalists?

because I can map a concept and tell you how I'd feel had i not had breakfast this morning.

>>211499592
>>211499617
at this point it seems more like you're trying to convince yourself than anyone else.

>>211499652
>capitalists are afraid of being murdered that's why they're benevolent... it had nothing to do with unions

well at least you've proven you can somewhat understand disincentivization... even if its only "don't want to be murdered."

>>211498928
>unions force companies to have tolerable work conditions and fair pay

Again; only in the broadest sense. Detroiter here, who has worked in non-Big Three auto assembly plants and the pay and benefits are shit and you'll be working endless hours for slave driver management.

It's nothing at all like what actual unionized Big Three workers get.

>>211499726
its still better than what you'd have without unions ever existing, and also proof they will push people as hard as they can get away with.
