I mean there’s been like a dozen robberies on 18th and Columbia in the last month
the Streets has been robbed I think three times at this point, and the manager was beaten. They have a guard now. People certainly don’t feel quite as safe, and justifiably so.
I don’t feel unsafe, but the elderly woman I talked to the other day who was robbed in broad daylight may

Every city sub is miserable.
I just moved here at the start of the December and I love it. Incredible place, diverse, historical, fun, beautiful, warm (compared to Boston!) etc. It’s great.

Shit, I live like next door to there. I had no idea. People there are great, I hope they’re okay
Usually there aren’t a ton of the really aggressive homeless/tweakers around there, I wonder if it was some random or something more sophisticated

I mean you’re the one asking for a 40 of Olde English at 6 in the morning so safe to assume you’re at least fairly miserable

Yeah, it’s really a very small minority committing the vast majority of crimes.
Boston did a great program in the 90s to solve this and it was wildly successful. Been done in many cities.
> In Boston, for example, which at the time had a population of roughly 556,180 people, approximately 1,500 individuals were identified as comprising 61 separate groups. This 0.3% of the population was responsible for 60% of the city's homicides.
This holds true in many cities. Like 1000 problem kids do 60-80% of all the killing. Targeting them and getting them off the streets does wonders. They focused all their resources into a few hot spots with these criminals and almost entirely eliminated youth gun violence.
