it's like that in many cities' black areas--even mine ....crime/dirty/shitty/etc
[ not all the black areas--but the worst parts of my city are black areas ]
we have a very
old part of town in our city...
tiny houses...etc--but the lawns are mowed/houses maintained/etc...the houses are not bigger/fancier/etc than in the black areas.....it is a very great place to go...not much crime at all....so what's the difference?!
they want economic development, but they have no big tax base

+ crime = shithole
but the crimes have been concentrated in predominantly black, low-income neighborhoods.
the blacks NEVER accept the fact that THEY are part of the problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
actually Chicago is not on most dangerous cities lists--not even the top 100
and it's murder rate is much lower than some other medium to big cities-St Louis for one
New York, Chicago, Boston, Houston and Los Angeles are not in the Top 100 Most Dangerous Cities
5 Out of 10 Most Dangerous Cities in U.S. Are in the Midwest
