I agree with the sentiment on the current mayor, but we do have to acknowledge most large cities have been seeing increase in violent crime over the past few years- although unlike Philly Chicago has reduced murders and shootings by a decent clip in 2022. Its pretty sad that Kenney has not launched ONE significant crime related initiative in 6 years.

I agree that it is nationwide surge. It does seem like the "leadership" of this city seems paralyzed to do anything about it.
