Terrible traffic and excessive flooding doesn't mean they can't have flowers.

Camden crime rate has been steadily decreasing. It's still in the top 20, but hasn't topped the list for some time now. I believe East St. Louis also experienced a significant decline in 2021 (East St. Louis is btw directly across a bridge from St. Louis MO. and their crime rates are fairly in tandem)

JC is just covered in Urban Redevelopment zoned lots now. It's definitely smart for funding. Some of the developer agreements are covering the immediate streetscape as well.
