This homeless disaster Area in Boston's Roxbury neighborhood is out of control. The FBI has busted dealers there who disguise themselves as homeless people to avoid detection while dealing...i was there recently and it felt like The Wire.
An old Best Western that opened up 20 years ago in hopes to revitalize the area has recently closed down permanently as has a 7-11 in the area-too many vagrants. They're looking at the possibility of converting the now empty hotel into transitional housing for these homeless and addicted.

Yeah, Des Moines has stayed at 3 homicides. Des Moines was at 20 plus at this point in 2017, and has had 10 plus at this point for every year since 2014 or so.
Also was reading an article about how shootings are way down for June and July of this year in NYC compared to last year.
Also seems like Chicago's homicide total has matched 2020's despite being way up for the beginning of the year. I wonder if it will actually be lower this year.
