(31,914 posts)Of course they had influence by the media. However, you can't deny inflation. Homeless people are now kinda everywhere. (Like in the vacant house next door) etc....I had to keep my tools with me at all times, when putting up campaign signs. Normally I would put my tools near where I was putting up signs and go to my vehicle and fetch more. I had parked at the gas station and it was full of homeless people. Homeless people will take petty things like tools etc. They also steal large campaign signs (worth $40) and use them to make forts. This is a recent thing. We had to fortify the signs with barb wire. We spotted the missing signs in a homeless camp. So if they are stealing from us, you know they are stealing from locals.
Also shoplifting is forcing more merch to be locked up. Customers are not happy and are driving 10 miles to go a store where stuff isn't locked up.
I live a few miles out. However, my son lives more inner. He won't shop at the local Walmart.
