NY has Gang problems too. And Drug problems.

The Solution?? NYC Style policing in Chicago. COPSTAT and other statistical based response systems are a good start. Also, flood problem areas with massive police presence. Chicago has 11000 officers... roughly on par with NYC at 32000. So the Manpower is the same....

The problem is Management.

Corruption, mismanagement and a city council that is too afraid to take back the streets because it would be perceived as racist keep Chicago a murder capital.

The vast overwhelming majority of victims are black youths killed by other black youths.

When will outrage come from the African American community about this slaughter of young black males by other Young black males? It won't. It is easier to claim to be a victim of white policemen than to accept the fact that this problem is almost 100% the problems that started in Chicago in 1967.



We have a winner. Thank you for actually suggesting something reasonable.
I hoped someone would.

Metro Chicago is about 9.5 million, bigger than most people think. Your figure is city proper(?) which would be like using just Manhattan for NY or such.

Mexico City 21m
New York 20m
Los Angeles 13m
Chicago 9.5m
DFW 7m

But your ratio still works - roughly double.

Chicago is indeed a much higher murder rate than NY, but lower than Detroit, New Orleans, and several others, and way below cities in some other countries. My "midrange" comment was in response to the claim Chicago has a "world class" crime rate, which it doesn't

That aside, I like your ideas, though I think worthy of note is the effect of gentrification on NY, the difference in income disparity, and the effects of the "drug war" both ways. Good start anyway.

Why complain about gang members killing each other?
They hit bystanders.
Open Carry
More stray rounds.

Sounds like Goldwater.
Skipping leg day is the equivalent of a woman having an abortion. You're ashamed of it, and it was probably unnecessary.

Did you know that Al Gore's father voted against the Civil Rights Act?
Kate Steinle was separated from her family permanently but leftists didn't seem to mind.

Who are these you guys? Many people here aren't old enough or not born when the Civil Rights Act passed.

And those who didn't want Obamacare passed.....outcome based people not feelings based....unlike some people here I actually like black people and think they as any American are more than capable of being productive members of society as individuals and not in need of some effete white man's handouts or sympathy simply based on the color of one's skin....
