> Why has none of the lives improved in these cities and they keep having gang problems? Because the people are still poor? > lack of school choice. Most of the poor kids here are in charter schools. > Fatherlessness Agreed this is a major problem, it's mostly caused by poverty. > corruption Absolutely agree this is a huge problem. We tried to solve it by electing an outsider mayor, everyone hates her because she can't get anything done due to obstruction from corrupt politicians. Even if we ended corruption tomorrow, that would only move the end of poverty from many decades away to a few less decades away, not really a solution to gun violence. > gangs We arrested all the gang leaders. Now the gangs are just 10 dudes who went to elementary school together. Without leadership there is no one to stop them from shooting each other, it has made things quite a bit worse imo. As I said it isn't possible to just end gangs, there are always new people to fill the power vacuum.
