Minneapolis is not getting rid of the police department as a quick Google would happily show you.

Its a fallacy to assume it is a failure of a public option when it just as easily can be that we've been marketed that we are vulnerable and unsafe. Almost all stats have TODAY being just about the safest moment for violent crime in the history of humanity.

Dont confuse a change in peoples purchasing habits as a logical response to something intrinsic. Its barely ever correlated.

edit: I actually reread and saw you said "perceived value," I agree with you, I just think its a tragedy people are so scared. Although SF seems to be really having a problem.

This past year has been markedly worse for many people than it was just a few short years ago.
