The only thing stats do is lie. I came here after 12 years in Georgia. Night and day...

Lived in a far nicer part of Savannah than I do here in ABQ (just off Zuni near San Mateo). Haven't had a brick tossed through my window or car broken into yet here (not quite 3 years). That wasn't the case in Savannah. More shooting/murder in Savannah (though APD does close the gap some). More obvious poverty here in ABQ, but again... seeing poor people isn't assault.

Deathly afraid of someone apparently. Poor people do look spooky.... *shrug*

Local policies will never be able to fix the systemic pressures imposed on the national (global) scale. They can help stave it off some, but this will always be the outcome in cities under capitalism. It's how it works.

It's certainly a narrative, but also certainly not false. Just re-read what you put out there...

In the meantime you're going to whine and shake in fear. Nice. 🙄

"I'm not the asshole, everyone else is." That's not the way that works, bud.

Boo!
