Culture war stories putting down region X will always get a ton of clicks from people who don't like the political zeitgeist of region X.
> Overall, though, crime has been trending down for years.
*facepalm*
In a story about how the terrible crime is driving people away, they still had to acknowledge that crime is going down.

- CPLX 5y agoSaying “crime is down” without context is pretty much meaningless. Crime is a big ass category of varied things. Also it’s by definition not something that can be measured precisely and varies widely based on reporting and the willingness of those in charge to take reports. The story attempts to add some context.
