#6  There's a lot of plain old denial going on in the City. We have family/friends who continue to travel downtown for one reason or another. To my knowledge, none of them go "shopping the Mag Mile" any longer, so they've figured that much out. But when we say something blunt like, "We don't go into the City any more" friends/family often get that blank stare that translates into something like "I don't know what you mean." They know about the problem, they have to, but don't want to acknowledge to it openly.

#3  Or, history starts running in reverse and some of these benighted blue states are devolved back into territories that have to start the climb to statehood status all over again.

#2  Maybe defunding the cops isn't such a bad idea after all.

#1  States will relinquish law enforcement to the Federal (city-state) structure as gov't sanctioned urban anarchy continues.

Eventually States will cease to exist and centralized government will prevail.
