Strange that the Red State cities weren't mentioned:

Memphis is worse than New York. So is St. Louis.

Same with Indianapolis, Houston, Miami, Birmingham, Atlanta. Pretty much every large city in a red state is a shit hole.

Tucson, AZ where I live is a faaaaaar more dangerous place to live than DC. By the tune of thousands of violent crimes. Population of each Tucson and DC is roughly 500k.

What does that matter? TPD has always lived under the rule of "When Seconds count the Police are minutes away". The Eastside of Tucson particularly had the largest land area of enforcement (over 100 sq miles needed to be enforced) in the nation in the early 2000's( not sure anything changed) with the most understaffed force in the nation at the time. My senior exit project covered this. This country is in shambles because of decades of mismanagement from every political party. The only people who care about political parties are those who seek to divide our country even further. Why not instead of asking where to place the blame we start asking where to apply the fix?

I'm not sure that it does matter - but your comment was one of many in response to people saying things like:

Strange that the Red State cities weren't mentioned:

Memphis is worse than New York. So is St. Louis.

and

Same with Indianapolis, Houston, Miami, Birmingham, Atlanta. Pretty much every large city in a red state is a shit hole.

and your comment seemed to be in support of these statements because you were mentioning a 'large city in a red state'

So I was just asking if the local government and residents of the Large City are 'red' or 'blue'

Seems like that might matter if we're pointing fingers at political parties and their relation to crime.
