Liberalty

I heard a proposal to settle middle eastern refugees in cities where it seems like a little "revitalization" might be needed. The basic plan is people fleeing from war zones will be dispersed among places like Detroit, Baltimore, etc. That's literally the plan. These people will go here and just by them being here we will see revitalization! If you're smart enough to see the flaws in this plan congratulations, you qualify for a Ph.D. These places aren't abandoned because people just didn't feel like living there anymore. They didn't watch "How I met your mother" and say "fuck this place I'm going to New York!" No, people left because they no longer had any means of sustaining themselves in those locations. They're just going to supplant people in places where they have no familiarity with the culture, no job prospects, and among what will probably be a hostile population. I can't imagine how this might fail.
