That's pretty interesting. Although it's close, it seems it would be safer in St. Louis or Kansas City. But I guess the real question for me, which there seems to be a debat over, is whether the crimes are random or created more from the presence of illicit drugs.

Both are caused by one thing: poverty.
Impoverished regions with little economic opportunity turn into places where lives of crime are the only way to survive. The most effective cures to such regions is to increase social welfare programs, public transit, and support for unhoused and mentally ill.
