“A lot of this is driven by gang activity that's going on in our city right now, so we've reached out to increase partnerships with our state and federal partners, to ask them how we can do more together and hold the individuals that we believe are responsible for some of this activity accountable,” he said.


quote:

Louisville Metro ABC, which regulates establishments licensed to serve alcohol, has initiated numerous investigations into late-night venues where shootings happened.

In July, the Bardstown Road bar Afrokanza closed its doors after an investigation by ABC officers. Three people were shot and killed outside of Afrokanza in July 2023 and neighbors had filed multiple complaints about the establishment with city officials.

Today, the city is known as the home of boxer Muhammad Ali, the Kentucky Derby, Kentucky Fried Chicken,...

quote:

Muslims in Louisville number around 10,000, both indigenous and immigrants who arrived in the early 1960s from India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Iran, and Turkey. Immigrants from Afghanistan arrived in the early 1980s. Those from Iraq, Somalia, and Bosnia arrived in the 1990s, and the 2010s saw the arrival of immigrants from Kosovo. Many mosques and Islamic organizations exist in the metro area

quote:

The city has also been one of the hardest hit by the opioid epidemic. In 2021, Louisville broke the record for overdoses in the city. Heroin, fentanyl and other opioids have also attributed to an overall increase in violent crime, property crime and homelessness in the past decade




The story writes itself......

Birmingham's southern suburbs are excellent and growing. The downtown area has gotten better but the rest of the city is a ghetto shithole.

I found this that maybe has something to do with it..

"Louisville, Kentucky is very welcoming to migrants and refugees, and has been for many years. The city has seen significant growth in its immigrant population in recent years"

"17% of Louisville population is expected be foreign born by the year 2035."
