Regarding the Sun-Times report on a poll saying Chicago voters feel unsafe from crime and the final comment by Stephanie Coleman about keeping so-called criminals in jail, my opinion is that it is an expensive venture.
Lori Lightfoot is the only mayor in my lifetime who sees investment in ignored communities as a way out of gun violence and other crimes. But the South and West Side have been sidestepped for investment since 1965. That is over 50 years. Do not forget about redlining either; that began in the 1930s.
