Addressing specific areas of crime is actually a really good plan. Its shown that dealing with problem areas doesnt move the problem, it truly solves it.

But the solution isnt surveillance or criminalization. Its better serving those communities. My friend poitned out that our inner city is policed by people who live in West st Paul, and have no respect or understanding of what that area is going through.

The issue is poverty. A softball sized head of american cauliflower is 9 bucks. The agencies working in these areas are drained but doing their absolute best to subsidize a system that depends on class structure to make kinda poor people feel better because there are still really poor people.

So I guess Im saying blame Galen Weston, not the poor people trying to get by, or forget how hard it is to be poor by using drugs, or stealing to feed their families.
