Nashville Reporter Only Sees Racism In Moving To A Christianity-Friendly Small Town
As Venezuelan gang soldiers set up shop in Tennessee, a Nashville reporter directs ire at a handful of American families who’ve moved in.
A bit more than half of respondents (56%) in a poll indicated that they are likely to leave California's Bay Area during the coming few years.
A whopping 30% agreed strongly with the sentence, "I am likely to move out of the Bay Area in the next few years," while 25% somewhat agreed, 19% somewhat disagreed, and 25% strongly disagreed.
For the people likely to leave the region, 84% indicated that the overall cost of living represents a major factor in why they would consider departing, while 77% indicated high housing costs represent a major reason, and 62% indicated quality of life represents a major reason.
But even among the minority of individuals unlikely to exit the area in the coming years, 14% desire to move but cannot do so.
A strong majority believe that the issue of homelessness has worsened in their area in the last year, with 46% indicating that it is much worse and 27% saying that the issue has grown somewhat worse.
The poll found that 37% viewed crime as an extremely serious problem in their area, while 27% consider it a very serious problem.
The cost of housing (76%), cost of living (68%), and homelessness (66%) were ranked as extremely serious issues.
"The Silicon Valley Poll is a survey of 1,610 registered voters in five Bay Area counties (Santa Clara, San Mateo, Alameda, San Francisco, Contra Costa)," the poll explains. "The survey was placed in the field September 21-26, 2021 by Embold Research, a division of Change Research Inc., on behalf of Joint Venture Silicon Valley and its research arm, the Institute for Regional Studies."
"It's housing, stupid," president and CEO of Joint Venture Silicon Valley Russell Hancock said, according to the San Francisco Chronicle. "That is driving almost all of the results we see in this poll."
Walgreens is planning to close down five more of its San Francisco store locations next month because of "organized retail crime."
"Organized retail crime continues to be a challenge facing retailers across San Francisco, and we are not immune to that," a Walgreens spokesperson noted in a statement, according to Fox Business. "Retail theft across our San Francisco stores has continued to increase in the past few months to five times our chain average. During this time to help combat this issue, we increased our investments in security measures in stores across the city to 46 times our chain average in an effort to provide a safe environment."
Do you agree with the poll? Are you likely to move away from the #BayArea? #SiliconValleyPoll2021 #Publicopinion… https://t.co/RQwvrPpU8r

Missouri Democratic Rep. Cori Bush declared Friday that she will move her Washington, D.C., congressional office to another location away from GOP Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia, saying the Republican "berated" her in a hallway.
Greene says Bush is the one who "berated" her, and provided a video that shows Greene recording herself and speaking while walking down a hallway, when someone can be heard yelling at her as she fires back.
The two freshman congresswomen could not be farther apart politically, and both have been accused of holding radical views.
Bush is a far-left progressive BLM activist who ousted a 20-year Democratic incumbent in deep-blue St. Louis. Greene is a Trump-supporting conservative in a deep-red Georgia district accused of following the QAnon conspiracy theory.
Their in-person clash occurred Jan. 13, according to Bush, who said on Twitter Friday, "A maskless Marjorie Taylor Greene & her staff berated me in a hallway. She targeted me & others on social media. I'm moving my office away from hers for my team's safety. I've called for the expulsion of members who incited the insurrection from Day 1."
She reiterated a few hours later, "after members tested positive for COVID-19 after being locked down with her on Jan. 6 — Marjorie Taylor Greene came up from behind me, loud and unmasked. I called out to her to put hers on. Her staff yelled at me, "Stop inciting violence with Black Lives Matter."
Greene responded by tweeting out a video purportedly showing the full exchange, with the message, "Rep. @CoriBush is the leader of the St. Louis Black Lives Matter terrorist mob who trespassed into a gated neighborhood to threaten the lives of the McCloskey's. She is lying to you. She berated me. Maybe Rep. Bush didn't realize I was live on video, but I have the receipts."
In the video, Greene is seen strolling while recording a message to her supporters. She condemns the Jan. 6 Capitol attack by a mob of Trump supporters and then lambasts Democrats who "supported" the violence that occurred at Antifa-BLM riots throughout 2020.
Then, a distant voice can be heard yelling something inaudible that ended with the phrase "put on a mask," when another voice closer to Greene can be heard yelling back, "Stop inciting violence [inaudible] Black Lives Matter."
Greene then turns around and says, "You know what, yeah, don't yell at people. You know what? You shouldn't bring COVID-positive members in here spreading COVID everywhere." The person in the distance keeps yelling "put on a mask" as Greene responds, "Stop being a hypocrite!"
The recording continues with Greene returning to addressing her followers, saying, "Yeah, this is how it is here, now. This is how it is...me arguing with my Democrat...Democrat colleagues. Supposed colleagues. That's how it is. That's how it is now in America. So, you're witnessing exactly what we have to live through."
