In my 90 years I have not heard of businesses leaving due to crime. I remember the Germans bombing the UK and businesses shuttering as a result. Not this. Yet at least every week I see reports of this happening here.

When a people (a city in this case) reject all sexual morality, it becomes really difficult for them to retain any morality. Once critical mass is reached, it is about hopeless to stem the tide of evil. Evil become celebrated and is called good. No one can judge righteous judgment, they will not tolerate it.

I think this has more to do with internet based sales then crime. Wages have risen dramatically in cities resulting in higher operating costs.

According to the variety of news sources, the stores have cited profit losses due to crime as the most pressing factor in most of these closings.
