Vagrants left on the circle. Maybe they want decay?
Well at least the State of Indiana stepped in and is getting rid of the panhandlers downtown, something the city wouldn’t do. Hogsett is a joke.
Indianapolis crime/homicide rate on track for new record…that fact needs to be accounted for. People will leave downtown if they do not feel safe. The Mayor better make crime reduction his #1 priority.
No our mayor wants to adopt California way of running our city.
Uggggg
Indianapolis, a once industrial powerhouse has surprisingly done well but has much to do. Midwestern cities are a tough sell and Indiana’s reputation of minute meddling of state senators and representatives in area for which they have no expertise or knowledge discourages investment. Ask Amazon . What’s a California way of running a city. Generalizations typically are inappropriate and wrong. If Indianapolis were run like Sacramento, San Diego, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Fresno, Redding, Riverside, Laguna Niguel, Bakersfields, San Jose or Santa Barbara, the outcome would vary as significantly as those cities. The real threat to Indianapolis is the lack of investment in people. Education and jobs are key. Low levels of education result in higher crime, greater health needs, diminished property values and a lower tax base to do anything, People need to learn to read (I’m not kidding), to understand the value of money, to learn how to maintain properties, and to invest in themselves. Perhaps Indiana should welcome nationals from Hong Kong to settle in and invest in the city. Sadly, Simon who own prosperous and profitable malls throughout the cannot highlight Circle City Mall as a success and the distress continues. Downtown has become an entertainment venue, but one far too dependent on conventions and without significant enough new residential to keep restaurants and the marginal retail afloat, What is the long range plan to effect a 24-hour city with needs and diversity in terms of economic strata that will allow the city to prosper, one that encourages entrepreneurs to start and maintain businesses, and one that can ensure long term economic stability. Bring in college grads with ideas, bring in companies that will invest in the city. And people, go to school, learn, better yourselves, and do not destroy the city. Brutality is wrong as is destruction. A
It genuinely cannot be understated how big of a screw-up not passing the EID was.
The story is well-documented across the country: As soon as a big city permanently falls into Democrat control, whatever Republican Mayors and councilmen have built will be squandered. It’s now happened to Indianapolis.
The visions of Richard Lugar, William Hudnut. and Stephen Goldsmith saved Indianapolis downtown from devolving into the ghost town to which it was headed, then Bart Peterson. There was a small reprieve with Republican Greg Ballard, but his social agenda was so pandering to the jackboot of homosexual demands and not supporting religious freedom that he morphed into an all-too-typical RINO.
And now, inept Joe Hogsett took over what good remained from Ballard’s Republican administration and pi**ed it away with horrible management, lest he alienate what he knows are his core constituents (voters). Otherwise, why would Hogsett consistently refuse to appear on Tony Katz’ drive-time radio show on the biggest Indianapolis radio market if he [Hogsett] felt he could defend his policies and philosophies?
Sadly, Indianapolis is not alone. Most other big cities under Democrat control have suffered the same losses, and for the same reasons.
As famous author, Ayn Rand so brutally stated, “You can ignore reality, but you cannot ignore the consequences of ignoring reality.” Look at all the boarded-up businesses in Indianapolis downtown core for proof that she is right. (Actually, I believe she used the word “evade” rather than “ignore,” in those two places, but she’s been quoted both ways and the two words are about equal in this instance.) Either way, the meaning is the same…as are the consequences of municipalities who turn over control of their governance to Democrats…or the prevailing Democrat policies designed to keep their constituents in permanent poverty and, thus, dependency on them.
We should be thankful any convention was not in Indianapolis after all to witness this ineptness first-hand.
