Perhaps you need to change your news sources, because you have a very warped idea of how violent inner cities are. It's not the 1970's.

    >According to the wiki page on this, the murder rate is now 3 times high than 1977 (start of data on the table). From the link[0] I posted previously" "Lastly, we turn to another place where crime and violence spiked in 2015: Baltimore. This year, Baltimore’s story continues to be a mixed one. The total number of crimes reported in the city fell by almost 6 percent compared to 2018 (through the last week of November), with violent crime falling by about 2.5 percent. Robbery, burglary, theft, and auto theft decreased modestly, while reported rape fell dramatically — with law enforcement documenting nearly 26 percent fewer offenses." As I said, crime is down in Baltimore. Continuing to say say "crime is up in Baltimore" doesn't make it true.
