Santa Monica, From Top Tourist Attraction to Boarded Up
- 4 years ago
Take our journey showing how beautiful Santa Monica California was taken from a top tourist destination attracting 23,000 ahppy visitors per day to a town that is deserted, boarded up and covered with graffiti.
A picture is worth a thousand words. A video is worth millions. We skip the rhetoric of "how many lives were saved" due to the quarantine so many feel was completely unjustified, or the political correctness of the Black Lives Matter protests. The issues are too complicated to cover fairly. Rather we show you the end result ... how these things that were done in the name of good causes have left Santa Monica in ruin.
As I created the video I couldn't help but feel the two seemingly different events that took Santa Monica to its knees are connected. Each of them had the same destructive result. You decide.
