Gee, let’s talk about all sorts of supposed fixes except what matters: effective law enforcement to reduce crime.

I don’t think the young people need more “safe places”. I think they need a sense of what’s wrong.

These will continue and worsen as long as there are no consequences for their bad behavior. The city has tried activities for teens, but the activities are ruined by the teen violence that results. Teens know that there are no consequences for their criminal behavior.
