So why is every capital city a rotten minority infested shithole with crime problems? Why does quality of life decrease in proportion as you approach the center of government power?
For the vast majority of human history our evolutionary selection pressures have been relevant to a much smaller group of acquaintances, and modern cities are an entirely novel situation.

Disgusting painting.

The capital usually provides high income jobs and good infrastructure, attracting both the poor (better living conditions) and well skilled laborforce (high income). The poor attract shady businesses, relying on poor people to execute their ventures. The high income-people provide the market for drugs, prostitution etc.

yeah high paying government jobs that are all taxpayer funded wastes of resources
fucking bureaucratic parasites

>why does *bald, broad claim* ???
No, the quality of life doesn't decrease, else these people wouldn't all be going there. Some aspects of it decrease, others increase. Access to high tier employment, fancy import goods, malls, entertainment and culture, education and international transport increase, for one.

>Ottawa
I live in Ottawa and this city isn't exceptionally criminal. Compare it to Toronto or Vancouver, for example.
Oliver Hughes
More urbanization = more crime. This has been empirically proven.
Also DC while certainly a shithole is hardly the most violent and minority infested city in the US.
Robert Powell
>they don't always hold the door for each other, oh no!
Logan Perez
I agree that Whoronto and Vancuckver are much worse (miserable liberal shitholes), but Ottawa isn't exactly great
Benjamin Hill
Not him but Toronto has a murder rate of 2 per 100k. That's absolutely nothing.
For comparison, DC has around 27.
Benjamin Mitchell
In most cases capital cities are the among the largest cities in the country, or are even the primate city in smaller nations.
Some obvious examples of capital cities being nicer than the rest of the country come from cities planned in the 19th and 20th centuries specifically for being the capital. Places like Canberra and Brasilia. St. Petersburg was the planned capital of the Russian Empire, and was (and still is) considerably nicer than Moscow.
Landon Wood
yeah not nearly as many dindus in Toronto
just a whole bunch of white cucks and nasty women
Parker Turner
They still do that, we're not fucking savages.
Logan Rogers
Since when do cucks pose a crime problem?
Jason Fisher
That's not caused by central power. DC is not worse than Detroit, Paris than Marseille... And Tokyo is okay.

>calls /pol/ a boogeyman >proceeds to spout /pol/ memes
Ethan Russell
>more people = more people committing crime
Wow really. Hot insight there, faggot. What next, are you going to reveal to us that the more urbanised a place is, the higher the population is?
Isaac Campbell
I'm being racist but due to the area and mind set given to a lot of young blacks they do commit the most crime out of everyone especially for being such a small part of the populace. It's just the fact they live in shit and think hey they guys said they'd be a family if I sell these drugs and shoot this other kid
Benjamin Watson
Paris being a shithole is a meme.
Jayden Foster
Not OP but I was pretty horrified when I visited Paris and barely met a white person tjere.
Daniel Nelson
More crime as in higher crime rate, not just the absolute number of crimes.
Also Op's theory is pretty shit.
Luis Jackson
You didn't visit Paris. You might have visited the Eiffel Tower and got a heavy case of confirmation bias when you saw a couple of skinny Africans selling plastic shit to the hordes of tourists.
Cameron Gonzalez
>rotten minority infested shithole with crime problems? Because of leftist governance.
Tokyo is an example of a nice big city.
Samuel Cox
Capitalism. The more economically important a city is the more accelerated are the effects of capitalism there.
Isaac Rogers
>high paying government jobs
lol
Logan Turner
Why OP is a shitposter: 1) Does not define what he means by shitty, unless "minority-infested" is supposed to be bad in itself. 2) Provides zero support for the assertion that capital cities are "shittier" than other cities.
