Anyone that lives in an average Cleveland neighborhood knows its a rough city. I love the city and it has a lot to do but once you get out of downtown or University Circle its all very rough looking. I would like to see the city do a lot better than it is right now. The city is taking steps to become better with the Euclid Corridor Project and others but it needs to do a lot more than that. We need to attract jobs and I would like to see Cleveland become a better city than it has ever been in the past. I would like to see another beach be made maybe artificially, and I would like to see more of a gold coast on the westside and the Eastside, not just in Lakewood. I would like to see the vacant lots be filled with older looking, but modern row houses/duplexes/and single family houses. I would also like to see nicer streets and less abandoned homes. Cleveland is already a good city but it has potential to be a great city, and it has the potential to grow.

^ The best way to do this is to get average, crime-abiding citizens in these areas. Black, white, asian ... it doesn't matter. Once this happens, crime will be reported, but people must call the cops every-time something happens. Once criminals know there's someone out there that will call the cops, rather than not care ... they'll be more reluctant to commit the crime.
Everything else will follow (see: shopping mall/subdivision sequence). If people run out to the suburbs, crime will eventually follow. Sociology 101 teaches this. It's inevitable ... you'll (not you) be running for the rest of your lives. I'm speaking from a present experience. Walking the walk per say ...

In Cleveland is not that people don't call the police, or don't want to. Its that response time is so horrible, Police don't show up for hours, if even at all, so why call the cops then. People will end up and have taken the law into their own hands. Only when you get the police system to start working again, then people will start having more faith in them
