That should have been obvious when I said “gun violence epidemic” which you should perhaps bother to read about and get your facts straight. And again, because I live on the outskirts, how does that make me unqualified to talk about a neighborhood I have daily interactions with?

Chicago, like every major city, has a lot of nice parts, and a lot of not nice parts.

I guarantee you the TL has more poverty and crime than vast the majority of Chicago neighborhoods. It’s also worth noting that the high violent crime numbers for Chicago are a recent thing, and city-wide, Chicago is still well below places like Detroit, St. Louis, and our own backyard of Oakland. I’d be willing to guess that most of the murders, assaults, etc. in Chicago occur in a relatively small geographic area.

Hey, it’s not a contest! But please get your facts straight before making comments about how a neighborhood you live on the outskirts of isn’t that bad.

If there is a strong case to be made for institutional racism, among many other systems of control, then I think it’s all of our responsibility to do our part to help correct that. So that the same people can live healthy lives.

I thought that she was pretty compassionate and level-headed given what she has to deal with on a daily basis. If she was fired, then good riddance. How many of the haters are low-paid social workers? SF sometimes feels like an open-air lunatic asylum. The rest of the country dumps their severely mentally ill and drifter types on us, where we allow them to flourish. Have you seen how many registered sex offenders there are in the Tenderloin? What I’m saying is, let’s not pretend that this is a wonderful population of people just temporary down on their luck. In the past, many of them would be in institutions. The right kicked them onto the streets, and the left took up the torch many years later to champion for freedom to be street people. So all you compassionate, tenderloin-loving, caring people who don’t want anyone to speak the truth, well, when have you worked with people who would be inclined to eat their feces?

Doesn’t meant daily interactions don’t involve the tenderloin. My point is, the tenderloin isn’t that bad. Yes, is there addiction, homelessness and prostituntion? Absolutely. Are there things I wish I didn’t witness? Without a doubt. Is it 1000 times better than the gun violence epidemic ridden city of Chicago from
Which I came? On many levels. Perspective.
