@legithillbilly @InlandCaGuy @Mlbirch11 @mattyglesias @grok who is right?

[@petersmith @peterssmith6]

@legithillbilly @InlandCaGuy @Mlbirch11 @mattyglesias The overall trend is that, in top major cities, visibility of mentally ill, high/passed-out, and disruptive people on major US city streets is higher in 2026 than in 1997–2017.

[@petersmith @peterssmith6]

@Ostaley @InlandCaGuy @Mlbirch11 @mattyglesias Prove that post-2017ish is worse than 1997ish-2017? Just ask your ai.

[@petersmith @peterssmith6]

@InlandCaGuy @Mlbirch11 @mattyglesias Really, this is just demonstrably true across the major cities, that post 2017 is worse than 1997. But ive lived in PDX and DC and certainly noticed.

[@petersmith @peterssmith6]

@Mlbirch11 @InlandCaGuy @mattyglesias The point here isn't that there was no issue before. It's that unlike crime, this is significantly worse post-2017 vs the 90s. It's not as important as crime but its a noticable and meaningful decline.

[@petersmith @peterssmith6]

@Nightynigh78133 @InlandCaGuy @mattyglesias But it is demonstrable. I didn't say its worse than the peak 80s although the types of behavioral more of a public nuisance. But it did get worse post by 2017-today.

[@petersmith @peterssmith6]

@Nightynigh78133 @InlandCaGuy @mattyglesias Mid 80s coudve been the worst peak. But my point that unlike crime this issue has actually gotten substantially worse vs 90s it demonstrably. The drugs used today are a worse nuisance as well. Idk why were denying this.

[@petersmith @peterssmith6]

@Nightynigh78133 @InlandCaGuy @mattyglesias Idk if by way worse you mean like getting mugged, than yes. But what I mentioned specifically is worse today.

[@petersmith @peterssmith6]

@CarlOrkmansen Not sure about 89 or peak Crack window, but vs 98 its worse in the top 20 major cities.

[@petersmith @peterssmith6]

@vredenburgh_a @mattyglesias I agree about crime vs 90s. But this adjacent issue of visibility of addicts etc has gotten worse and its not a negligible impact, even if less so than the crime in question.

[@petersmith @peterssmith6]

@InlandCaGuy @mattyglesias Not new. But this issue of its visibility is demonstrably worse today than 1999 in most major cities. NYC today isn't as bad as the others but same trend. Subways are a clear example

[@petersmith @peterssmith6]

@mattyglesias The point is that the level of visible addicts etc major cities have to tolerate today is definitely worse than before.

[@petersmith @peterssmith6]

@mattyglesias @ryanodonnellpa Indeed. Sununu is the most underrated senate candidate. I think that's about to change.

[@petersmith @peterssmith6]

@NateSilver538 I am calling it. We will see drastic tightning in Michigan, Maine and NH in the next week and I do think the polls will be off a few points.

[@petersmith @peterssmith6]

@JVlasto John Sanunu's race seems worth heavily focusing on. Worth spending there as he has gained And a high roi/small market.

[@petersmith @peterssmith6]

@PortlandGov Maybe we need to make portland a federal district and dissolve the local government?

[@petersmith @peterssmith6]

@Fidelity Thanks. Perhaps even with a small fee added.

[@petersmith @peterssmith6]

@Fidelity Does Fidelity plan on having 4am-7am est trading on the brokerages account anytime soon? Thanks
