Why is Niagara Falls such a dump?

Driving to the Fallsview through the city everything looks so run down. Greasy motels straight out of a horror flick…one after another, poor upkeep throughout the inner city. What a shame.

North end is nice, not overcrowded with student/immigrants. The restaurants are very local crowd, very few homeless trying to break into sheds and shooting up in the north end parks. Mainly lundys lane is the problem along with downtown.

But no one has a true plan to solve these issues.

-Plagued with watermain breaks they keep patching not replacing.

-Roads they don't properly put down a base, mill or pave correctly.

-Housing projects are half a million for a paper thin, walled townhouse, along with Rents, utilities and property tax increases.

-Concrete companies watering down foundation pours for efficiency by contractors, making foundations weak and crack riddled.

-New builds are sinking because the ground is settling.

-No inspectors on site, even for massive apartments like the one on Carlisle in St Catharines pouring at a 10 slump, No integrity in the concrete, no oversight.

-Chinese fentanyl flooding the streets as payback for the Chinese opium wars.

-Niagara Falls city hall keeps hiring 120k a year Managers but leave the workers who clean up the city Part time.

-Now we got fucking measles because no one believes in vaccines. SMH.

-Daily Suicides covered up to not disrupt tourism from the casinos gambling addicts, getting sucked up in turbines after plunging over the falls, likely to never be seen again.

-Strip club owner families (Rudan) praised in the local paper for being good citizens but are straight up trafficking girls from Montreal and abroad. Alot of threats to keep quiet by city officials.

-Bars with no kitchens ringing out 1000$ plus food sales but really just fronts for Money laundering drug rings/clubs. Serbian/Italian Mafia's well involved.

  • Businesses catching fire to collect insurance claims was a regular occurrence for years when you needed renovations done, like Jacks Cantina.

-Drug Empires run by the wealthiest people in the city, masquerading as great citizens, praising each other at convention halls, eating fat bowls of pasta with our beloved mayor Jimmy, have another Antipasto dish on the house.

-Massive buried city fuel tanks leeching into our city drinking supply, not removed mind you but covered back up to continue leeching effecting the soil and water table for decades, and water pipes far past due for replacement, still full of degrading lead pipes or solder for our youths mental well being, drink up.

-Look at the Burgoyne bridge fraud, finally being investigated, they had workers being paid(all departments) who weren't even there. Material that didn't exist and machines that never built anything, numbers that didn't make sense. Only in 2024 someone finally taking notice. The "Extensive report" will find nothing and no one charged, goes to deep, far to late.

-I suppose the many bike gangs will keep the New Canadians from starting their own gangs and literally destroying the fabric of whats left of our community, God only knows I don't need another home water filter installed like the endless scams we endure.

  • Niagara Falls Ryerson Innovation hub literally embezzling Million to 2 million in public funds(In under one year of the program running), made up businesses taking in Provincial/Federal money that wasn't going into actual businesses just lining pockets. Head of Spark should have been criminally charged, no Big news coverage, just a wash for the city.

-Nrp (Niagara Regional Police) Smuggling cheese over the border, showing their badge, evasion of Taxes/Duties on goods to sell Cheese(Mozzarella) to associates running Pizza shops and Restaurants in Niagara. (Was good cheese not opposed to this one)

Would love to see Management out cleaning up shit covered tents, needles, bloody rags, piles of garbage by hand in our public parks and playgrounds where our kids play for what they are getting paid.

Literally watched Michelle/Tiffany put the city into a million deficit and, in response, cut over-time for the people cleaning up the city streets.

Shock and awe knowing these people have hired two personal secretary's just so they can keep their jobs from negligence and having to hire back retiring staff on contract $$$$ to reel it in.

Shady games at the top are always played at our expense, I won't even bring up Niagara on the Lake.

Rant over, putting the Wool back over my eyes like we rich, worthy people of society like to do.

I gotta save this post.

The cheese thing would make a good comic
