[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]SS has been in decline since the 80s, except the 2000s real estate boom probably put a band aid on it. [/quote]

The only thing declining since the 90’s is the murder rate[/quote]

80’s*[/quote]

Right.  Cold day in hell before I'd send my kid to my publics in SS and let her walk around Wheaton Plaza.  No, much has changed. [/quote]

Lol! My parents would NEVER let me go to Wheaton plaza in the 80’s. [/quote]

My parents let me go all the time by myself when I was teenager in the 90s. Never had an issue. Was probably safer back then.[/quote]

Well my friends got mugged behind the mall in the 90's so there's that. The their stole their backpacks. 🤣 
Bottom line: Ss has had significant increase in crime.
A. Is this a surprise with crummy economic outlooks for many already in poverty pre pandemic and now with even less outlooks? No. 
B. Is it also a surprise with decreased policing (whether intentional or as a result of less officers due to it being a crap job)? Also no.
C. Is this ok? Still no

So the politicians pushing for less police/no traffic stops, need to react according to the publics' interest. Shift gears and stop their nonsense. Or we will vote them out. Like the second option but that will take time. In the meantime, be careful, look out for your neighbors and community. 
Thanks. [/quote]
