We all knew there was more to this story. Any time somewhere tries to blame a closure on “crime”, they’re hiding other issues. (Starbucks closing stores for “crime” but really it being to prevent unions is the key example these days.)

There have been several cases in the last few years of restaurants blaming the city and/or neighborhood for their failure, and these claims are always accompanied by anguished howls from the credulous (usually heavily concentrated amongst the Popville commentariat). But in every case i can think of there was always something else going on.
