The writing is on the wall for Dallas and Los Angeles. They will be the next Portland and San Francisco with their businesses disappearing. That is a domino in a line that leads to ruin, and it's not the first domino, which means the collapse has started.
Dallas' and Los Angeles' problem is that shoplifting has skyrocketed, according to the Council on Criminal Justice. This is a result of a shortage of police officers, which itself is a result of leftist policies being imposed on police, the defund the police movement, progressive prosecutors who won't prosecute criminals, and leftist judges who won't sentence criminals with serious penalties.
The value of the items stolen has also been increasing. According to the report, the value of stolen goods in shoplifting incidents in 2021 was $756 or less, a $184 increase from 2019. They have also grown more violent. Between 2020 and 2021, the number of news stories reporting smash-and-grab incidents nearly doubled.The Dallas Morning News reported that businesses in the city have started taking additional precautions to try and prevent shoplifting.
Once businesses start to close, people will follow because they need to find work, or they don't want to live in a crime-ridden city. This reduces the city's tax base, which reduces its ability to pay for police officers even if it can find people who want to work in that thankless job.
