The Poorest City in the United States.
Sad to say, but it’s in New Jersey.
Camden, the county seat of Camden County (a democrat party stronghold), has a rich history of political corruption and is crime-ridden. Yet, in the face of large public sector liabilities and shrinking revenues, the city is laying off its entire police department to be replace by a county-run force.
I was in there about twenty years ago (one avoids Camden, if at all possible), and back then it already looked like WWII Dresden. I assume it has gotten worse.
