To say this you have to pretend as if there is no history of cities successfully deterring and dealing with crime via law enforcement.

To say this you have to pretend as if there is no history of cities successfully deterring and dealing with crime via law enforcement.
- Entinel 4y agoShow me a city that has high income inequality but also low crime because of law enforcement.
- Kranar 4y agoSingapore
- almost_usual 4y agoNow try the US
- trentnix 4y agoThe largest cities in the US are politically in sync and have been for decades. It’s no surprise there’s not much diversity of outcome when everyone is calling the same plays from the same playbook.
- Entinel 4y agoSingapore has publicly stated that reducing wealth inequality is their top priority and reached a record low in 2020.
- notch898a 4y agoIs that of their citizens, or their population. Because The citizens have become more equal at the expense of taxing an enormous permanent resident and migrant work force who do not get the full benefits. The US and most other countries can't hope to have such a deep reservoir of foreigners to bleed dry in the name of equality. https://d33wubrfki0l68.cloudfront.net/1b57c13c04baed2bc1c218516d43e5278f32d518/c53c7/images/population-trends/total-population-june-2022.jpg https://d33wubrfki0l68.cloudfront.net/1b57c13c04baed2bc1c218...
- esja 4y agoZurich
- somenameforme 4y agoHong Kong! It has some of the highest rates of income inequality in the world, and it's also one of the safest places in the world.
- diebeforei485 4y agoSingapore, Hong Kong, Seoul, Shanghai (most of China tbh), Dubai, Geneva, Oslo...
- nemothekid 4y agoI don't think you have to pretend. San Francisco has the 8th highest police budget per capita, and 7th overall, despite being the 18th largest city.
- trentnix 4y agoPolice budget != law enforcement
- nemothekid 4y agoFine, then you have to quantify what metric you are using for "law enforcement".
