The economic progress the city has recently made and the growing gentrification is going to be thwarted by senseless violence. It's inexcusable for a city to be this dangerous. They don't have the manpower within NOPD to do anything productive. Not to mention, most younger families that are looking to buy homes uptown, in what's deemed to be a "safer" area are paying upwards of 200 per sq ft, which is unsubstantiated.

So, if you have no evidence of this, why do you report it here?

Some of the powers that be don't give a crap about the violence. The police chief thinks his biggest issue is false burglar alarms going off and Latoya Cantrell at a recent meeting on gentrification thought people calling the cops on trumpet playing was of notable concern.

growing gentrification

Leads to the violence. As the gap between haves and have nots continues to grow in this country, social unrest will also follow suit. You push the former residents out of the gentrified area in NO and the disenfranchised will continue to prey on the gentrified areas. They are right up against each other all over New Orleans.
