Meanwhile In Downtown Camden

Tyler Durden's picture




 

As we reported earlier, Camden may be broke, the local police may now be history, unemployment may be 50%, it may be nothing more than one big crack cocaine depot and driving through downtown at less than 88 mph may be hazardous to your health, but that wasn't always the case. In fact, back in 2009 the city had enough money to afford billboards. Such as this one on the intersection of Dr Charless Brimm Blvd and S. Broadway, courtesy of Google StreetView (sorry iPhone 5 users: you can't see this). Brought to you by www.joncorzine09.com

I agree. After the people have been moved out of course. Then hire the people to rebuild their community.

It's good for the people and good for the economy. Same applies to many shitholes across the country.

But is it a good deal for the bankers? I don't think so. Congress won't approve it!

You're describing Trenton.

No he's describing the "broken window fallacy" and if he thinks the idea is so great he should start with his own house and enrich himself handsomely!

Obama and Corzine on a billboard in Camden, NJ of all places promising more than the other guys just to get elected.

Nice find! Like Soviet billboards of Stalin preaching prosperity over the people digging through the trash on the outskirts of Moscow. Castro proclaiming the wonderful achievements of Cuban socialism. Hitler telling the Germans that the war will be won.

The US is there now. Total state failure, total state propaganda, total state control over every citizen. It used to be a nice place to live and thrive ... but alas the ponzi has run its course and reality is rearing its ugly head. Lalaland with a reserve currency is about to implode.

"I am an Ex-hedge fund manager and billionaire, I have about 4.15 billion dollars on my bank account and I want to quit being rich, so I decided to give back to the community.

Send me any amount of dollars between 50k and 100mill and I will send you back twice the amount. This is not a scam! I will only do it one time per person and until my account is empty.

Contact me via pm and I'll tell you how to send me the money. Serious offers only."

I think you over played your hand when you said you were a billionaire.

Out of curiosity did you get any PMs ?

Does anyone remember  the ending scene of Boiler Room when the paddy wagons and prison buses pull up in front of JTMarlin headquarters to arrest all the financial criminals? Until this happens at the White House and Capitol Hill, nothing will change. That being said, it is going to happen and soon... http://tinyurl.com/cd5cyjo/

I can hardly believe that Seth Meyers on Saturday Night Live missed this one for so long.

But, I can imagine he doesn't want to go to Camden, any more than the rest of us do.

Is this what a liberated libratarion community looks like? I am sure the DEA will find enough money to stop people from Gardening.

I went to Upenn in Philly & had the many opportunities to go through Camden by subway several times. Believe me, you'll never want to go there even in day time. The place looks as though it was hit by a neutron bomb &, on top of that, the politics is so corrupted the city is beyond repair.

 

I think there's a worse city in the area....perhaps the worst in the country. It's Chester. The politics is so corrupted & dysfunctional that the federal govt had to take over the city. Dumpsters from all over the east coast would go there to throw their refuse. The place is full of roaches after many yrs of graft & neglect.

 

Maybe Newark is worse.....I don't know. It's good competition.

Some house owners simply stop paying property taxes (along with their mortgage):

 

"More than 1 in 3 people who bought homes in some of East Austin's oldest neighborhoods in 1992 or earlier moved out of those homes after 2002, and close to 1 in 3 of remaining homeowners are delinquent on their property taxes...."
