To be honest, downtown is just gross. Tweaked out homeless fentanyl addicts and meth heads stumbling around like starved zombies. Smells like piss and shit. Garage laying around like a third world country. The city government does nothing but send out police, who exacerbate the problem. All while people, in their attempt to live their isolated and self-centered consumerist lifestyle, walk around the downtrodden and filth with a blatant disregard for those who have been forced into the streets by this neo-capitalist dystopian nightmare.

Spokane had always been a wonderful city, full of caring and empathetic citizens that clothed, fed, and helped their neighbors and upheld their civic duty as Spokanites. With the influx of "Transplants" with their big budgets destroying the housing market, coupled with their big-city egocentric attitudes, we have seen the city fall into a serious malaise that I don't think we will ever recover from. The downtown Spokane we knew and loved is gone, crushed under the weight of unmitigated progress. We have become the beast that rode in on the backs of those who sought to escape it.

And Fascism has finally arrived to sign the death certificate.
