Chicago has a way to fight gun violence, step by step - Chicago Tribune
To answer you and GG......I wish I had the answer. I grew up in
Chicago, attended a parochial school, and enjoyed the benefits of living in a big city. Of course, there were certain neighborhoods that were taboo....drugs, crime, violence, etc. just like today. But that wasn't headline news back then. And the weapons were cruder and less deadly. The police turned their backs on gang crime. And just like today it was a safe and clean city with the aforementioned exceptions.

Redlinig was common but less so today. As I look back on what I just wrote it disturbs me that so many of the conditions back then still exist today. I wish there were an answer.
