- bluGill 7y agoright, my point is that poor us cities will still act like the rich cities because they are not really poor.
- dsfyu404ed 7y agoPoor and broke are two different things. When people say "poor cities" they mean "broke" because while the cities may not be poor by global standards they're broke because they don't have enough $$ to pay for what they're supposed to pay for.
- bluGill 7y agoTrue, but the point is still all cities in the US have plenty of resources to enforce whatever arbitrary thing they want to. (note that the courts might strike down some for constitutional reasons). That they don't have the resources to do all isn't anything new, even the richest person in the world cannot afford to do everything.
