Article says covid funds have dried up. I don't think covid funds were meant to be permanent.

Yes, they burned through half a billion dollars of extra money the last few years and now they have a huge shortage because the gravy train stopped producing.

"Extra money" is certainly one way to categorize funds used to help mitigate the struggle of navigating a pandemic from five years ago... Not to mention, funding has been and will continue to be cut. How is that JCPS's fault?

Cincinnati has a similar shortage as Pete pointed out.

Right on Cincy too, no surprise there. 

This comes to the utter shock and surprise of no one. The entire city of Louisville is a dumpster fire. Was traveling through there on an ambulance transporting a patient to Norton's two months ago and passed by two cars shooting at each other. I'd love to be able to say that surprised us, but my partner and I just chalked it up as "Louisville being Louisville."

Obvious hyperbole coming from someone who doesn't live here. But that's typical.

Every single person that grew up in a small, rural area knows of places in their town that are "rough" and were told to "don't go over there." They occupied a couple of streets or a couple of hollers in a community of 10,000 or so, while everywhere else was nice.

Those same people then go to Louisville, population 750,000+, see a couple of bad things and declare it the most dangerous place in the world. If your local community has a couple of bad areas, statistically there will be a few more bad areas than that in a place 75x larger.

But just like all the nice neighborhoods, safe areas, fun attractions in your community, Louisville has the same. But we shove aside the two bad streets in rural areas and say it's perfect while we see two bad things in Louisville all use it to describe the entire place.

Exactly. But I've learned, people see what they want to see. 

Are there bad parts of Louisville, of course there are. No different than any other place. I'm not buying someone was driving down the street and just saw two cars randomly shooting at each other. Impossible? No, but unlikely. 

I've now lived here 21 years. I've been in EVERY part of this city. I used to frequent West Louisville quite a bit, because I have friends that lived down there. I was down there all hours of the night, and not a single time was I approached, bothered, threatened, etc. People love to talk about how unsafe it is downtown. Also not true.

I've been in just about every major city in the country, and Louisville is not even close to being bad. Like others have said, yes there are some rough sections. People like to knock on big cities, but even the biggest and worst of the bunch have more nice, safe areas than dangerous ones.
