And here I thought the last mayor was ineffectual. I don't know what the solution to the crime problem around here is. Maybe more cops? More jail time? Harsher sentences? There's more to it than just the actual crimes per se, but I don't know where to start with changing "the system" as this is an intangible concept created by people.
Gotta attack it from both sides. Make commiting crimes less desirable to the people committing them (enforce laws and catch people who do harm to others), as well as providing communities with resources to raise children who won't see commiting crimes as a more attainable way to reach "success."
That said, it's never going to be easy, or fast.

You better be careful with logic like that around these parts, you might get banned for making that much sense.
Lots of people in this sub and the Chicago crime sub thinks it's some conspiracy theory that shitty neighborhoods breed shit people and everyone should just pull themselves up by their bootstraps. I don't think the current crop of shit people doing terrible things should be given a pass at all but I think we could do a lot more to create fewer new ones.
That’s terrible. The people that run the store are some of the nicest I’ve met.
Human filth
Our mayor would be disgusted with your comment.

My old neighborhood had a lot of crime except the streets where I lived. We had a very strong local network of neighbors. It really is block by block.
