It’s a culture problem not a poverty problem.
the people that commit crimes are going to do the same shyt with money or without money
Answer the question.

How many cities and neighborhoods can you name that are wealthy and have high crime and low education?

They need to fix the educational and economic conditions of the people in the city.

Is it a coincidence that all the wealthiest cities and neighborhoods in the country have low levels of crime?

No. It’s not.

But everyone wants to keep acting like it’s a parenting thing or a society thing or a culture thing or whatever. And sure. To some degree that matters. I don’t deny that in some part.

But come on man. Follow the dollars. That always tells the story in America.
Anyone who ever suggests a solution that will involve upsetting the status quo goes missing.

They're fine with rhetoric but when you actually start putting the people who have money and power on blast and organizing people to take them down, you mysteriously go missing or die.

Martin Luther King was annoying to the power structure whilst he agitated for more political representation. They were angry but didn't think "oh we need to HANDLE this" until 5 years after the March on Washington when he started getting further and further to the left and more aggressively questioning capitalism and wealth inequality.

I've never heard of a person who makes over 50k a year at a 9-5 committing petty crimes. I've never heard of a kid whose parents are both in the house and spending time with him falling into a gang.

The issue has nothing to do with poverty
Its disrespectful to say someone is going to be a criminal because they are poor

You don’t need a lot of resources to be a good parent.

On the flip side these politicians and city officials continually allow liquor licenses and zoning permits for liquor stores in black communities. But wonder why crime is up.

liquor stores are unsightly but thats not the problem, many middleclass and upper-middleclass families have bars in their home or fridge thats seen it fair share of beer. it's the resources needed to provide kids with an outlet to explore, have fun and engage in age appropriate activities in a supervised environment.

you have sources for your claim? :feedme:

no one is destined to commit crime but the likelihood of doing so increases under those circumstances.
