That's no doubt a significant part of the equation too.
But in metros like Chicagoland, where the violent crime aspect is endlessly harped on by the media, the fear of "I might get shot if I go into the city" is real among a subset of people, particularly those who seclude themselves within echo chambers of more highly slanted media outlets.
