As I said in my comment above too, the crime is being outsourced from Chicago, so it isn't recognized as "chicago crime" but the local suburbs crime.

Gang members literally drive out here and car jack dodge chargers in broad daylight in drive throughs or roll up to peoples garages with guns and steal cars. Like actual nice neighborhoods 45 min away from the city. I was house and dog sitting for a family friend last year and down the street at 6am they car jacked a cadillac from someones garage.

The worst part is these guys all get thrown right back out on the street. 4 years ago they a major crime spree of gangs stealing cars from dealerships in the suburbs and joy riding them and abandoning them on fire or wrecked, and these guys had rap sheets of 80+ crimes. They keep them for a night and then throw them back out.

I've got quite a few guys on the inside of places that blow my mind sometimes with this stuff.
Would be good if a group or company had the wherewithal and expertise and funding to design a smartphone-sized device which could scan DNA/genetics in real-time, just to confirm the ethnicities and genders of the alleged perpetrators of whatever crimes, especially in the "crime-ridden" ones, just to confirm. Might be paranoia, but it wouldn't hurt to be on the safe side.

Imagine...imagine if we find extraterrestrials everywhere across Earth, disguised in human skin?

That is a lot, one of the highest in the United States, I'm told. In 2021, London, England apparently had about 30 homicides, but it does have a population of around 8 million or so, compared to Chicago's 3 million (?)

If it wasn't for today's technology, it'd probably be way higher.

Clearly the police are not stopping criminals and even if they do get arrested & convicted, they spend their lives in prison as a tax payer burden. Just kill them all. ded fkn srs.

Why wouldn’t you open a normal grocery store? Are poor people really gunna buy wild caught salmon and dragonfruit?
Probably because the people in this neighbourhood (or just woke people in general) said "Why ain't we ever get a Whole Foods here? Why we get treated differently to other neighbourhoods? It's racist that we can't get a Whole Foods here"

I believe that if there is a community issue or problem, then it is the community that has to solve it. Since there is a lack of markets/grocery stores in the neighborhood, maybe they could open up an open-air market with required/wanted groceries (forget organic; any food is better than no food) and hire local folks to work in the stores. It's similar to open-air markets in many African and Asian countries; this way you offer the people the foods they want and since it is community-based, everyone can look out for each other.

Something like this (Grand Central Market in LA)
