How many actually go to the locations where the violence is taking place?
Are you talking Englewood or Michigan Avenue? The problem is that that Michigan Avenue is in play.
When I lived in the Loop for three years, there was ZERO crime. It was an agreed green zone where the productive class was allowed to do its thing without being harrassed by criminals or the police. (I had exactly one run in with the police in the Green Zone/Loop and that is when I went for cigarettes at the White Hen at Clinton and Madison and they were talking about the Mini-14 and I dropped knowledge on them--the attempted shakedown by CPD was on the Southside near Lem's).
The problem is that now the criminal class is ignoring the old boundaries and daring to cross into the productive zones.
Look out for Mayor Tiny Dancer, he is everywhere:
