There comes a point when it's just cheaper and less hassle to move. When I lived in Vegas, I dated a girl (a student) who lived hood-adjacent. I never understood why she wouldn't just move 7 minutes away and be virtually crime-free.

Moot point in this case. He lives in the Gold Coast neighborhood of Chicago, basically one of the most expensive zip codes in the city. So far from the hood it's not even funny, but only a 35-45 min ride on the L for the riff raff, so not that far.



This guy has more money than sense, though. Those security guards -off-duty police, aren't going to put a dent in this problem. These guys wouldn't risk their pensions on duty, you think they're going to risk their pensions and or life off-duty for $50/hr. That's laughable.

The people Mr. Mudd are trying to keep out of his neighborhood have ZERO respect for the rule of law and the Police. I can only imagine the confrontations that will arise from this when a security guard tries to move someone off a street corner.

The city has put all of its eggs on the south and west side in order to attempt to curb the violence -obviously, it's not working, and now it's open season on the upper-class northside communities.

The only answer to this problem is STRICT punishment for breaking the law. I'm talking breaking rocks and hard labor for multiple offenses, and even harsher punishment for violent crime. Instead, they go to county and play x-box, watch daytime TV and get money sent to them so they can stuff their bellies at the canteen. It's a fucking joke.

Lucky for Mr. Mudd and the rest of the city: winter is coming. And it's expected to be a brutal one, so they won't have to deal with this stuff until next Aprilish.
