Cities are the goose that lays the golden egg for all of suburbanites to live cookie cutter lifestyles.

Without cities, there are no suburbs.

Actually cities are becoming increasingly an anachronism as they become more unlivable. It's a vicious circle.

The right sees the future as smaller scale towns and reviving rural areas, where the rule of law applies, as decent people increasingly flee urban dystopias. The left sees the future as massive Soviet style apartment blocks, only with free wifi and bike lanes. A submissive population, forced to live subsistence lives in miserable conditions to pursue utopian green new deal fantasies, ie Sweden.

Except that these are not composed by illegal immigrants (actually the first favelas were created by 10.000 brazilian soldiers who were promised homes by the government if they fought in the "Canudos War" and, as usual, since the government did not keep their part of the deal, the soldiers occupied the place.)
Favelas, especially today, are the result of socialism and failed government policies(which are virtualy the same thing), not "illegal immigrantion".
Immigration is made illegal by the government(already a hint that it is a stupid thing, as almost anything that the government does, is). The REAL PROBLEM is the welfare state. And until republicans understand that and stop saying that the problems are "illegal aliens", as if they(americans) are somehow "better people" than the immigrants and the mere fact that they are "legal americans" makes them less prone to crime, drug usage and so on, they will continue to fuel the (false) narrative from democrats that they are "racist" and lose votes for it.
If the same americans were in the situation of these immigrants, they would act the same way and vice-versa.
I have an american friend, who voted for Trump in the last election and simply DESPISES THE DEMOCRATIC POLICIES AND IS CURRENTLY IN FAVOR OF CURBING ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION (just like I am, like I already stated in previous posts, even though I think it will always be a failed attempt to do so through government) and he's told me more than once: "If you ever go to Washington, take a look at the streets, you will see a great deal of homeless people. If you look closely, NOT ONE OF THEM IS AN IMMIGRANT, they are all americans. That's because immigrants, for the most part, come here to make a better life for themselves and are willing to do anything in order to get that(he himself is a soviet union refugee who has been in the U.S. for almost 3 decades and already is an american). But the americans are taking care of fucking that up through the welfare state(which fucks up even the intentions of these immigrants. After all, if, like many americans, they are able to get money with no work in return, many will).

Amazing to read a post from you where you actually give some relevant information and not just repeating garbage you get from your conservative American lover with no apparent hands on experience of the US (well except for his dick).

FYI, most homeless are significantly mentally ill, at any one time 26 percent of the US population has a diagnosable mental illness. It is not a well place.

People who migrate to the US are mostly those who are strong, smart and can make it/their families believe they can etc. so help fund their move therefore they won't likely fall into the ditch. The US has always depended on migrants who are far more vigorous than the native stock for that extra competitive edge.

California's Prop 47 leads to rise in shoplifting, thefts, criminal activity across state

SAN FRANCISCO – In a lighted garage on one of San Francisco's busiest streets, a young man in baggy trousers and messy brown hair pulled down his pants. He had been hiding two pairs of stolen jeans with the tags still on them. He handed them to another man waiting nearby, took some money, pulled up his pants and headed back into another store on Market Street — home to the city's high-end designers and big-chain retail shops.

The incident wasn't a one-off. These brazen acts of petty theft and shoplifting are a dangerous and all-too-common consequence of Proposition 47, a referendum passed five years ago that critics say effectively gives shoplifters and addicts the green light to commit crimes as long as the merchandise they steal or the drugs they take are less than $950 in value. The decision to downgrade theft of property valued below the arbitrary figure from felony to misdemeanor, together with selective enforcement that focuses on more “serious” crimes, has resulted in thieves knowing they can brazenly shoplift and merchants knowing the police will not respond to their complaints, say critics.
