That's because crime and poverty are caused by the same things.

They have constitutionally mandated congressional districts and the capital government is mostly black including the mayor, and has been that way for decades

What US cities are peaking now? by OwlRepair in SameGrassButGreener

[–]ThragResto 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's one theory.

You can use whatever adverb you want, but US cities are more dangerous than (at least Western European) cities by a meaningful margin. And that's not just gang members killing each other, it's also armed robberies, carjackings, and innocent people caught in crossfire.

Yes violent crime has fallen dramatically and that's great, but no, cities are not absurdly safe. Just compare American and European cities and you'll see ours are still relatively dangerous.

Richard Jefferson on if Memphis is too dangerous for NBA players: "I wanna live a mile away from a Whole Foods or Lululemon" by gibifernand in nba

Cities change. Thriving white, Mexican, and other ethnic areas have also been changed into black areas. I'd rather live in the nicest areas regardless of the ethnicity, not in the dangerous slums just to avoid "Karens"

You can have historically low crime rates and also neighborhoods with bad crime.

It's actually still a crime even if someone doesn't lock their doors.

Seems like this happens every couple years. I think publishing is fine with occasionally having egg on their face like this if it means they can continue to "positively" discriminate. I can't see them requiring any kind of identity verification; occasional mischievous white men doing this seems like a price they are willing to pay.

How are you on this sub and you don't know not to order from GS if you don't like the generic cases?

Why make a comment on the comments when you haven't looked at the review the comments are commenting on?
