I thought Baltimore might have maxed out its homicide capacity, but it could get close to 70 per 100k this year.
At some point the Federal government needs a plan for places like this. They are not functioning cities and the bulldozer can't knock down abandoned homes and factories fast enough.

There is no plan that will work and there is nothing that can be done in these cities.
The bohemian vibe of many of these liberal cities is long gone.
Many large Democratic cities just have a depressive and mean vibe these days. Hardly anyone trusts one another and there is so much chaos at street level people aren't walking around like they were in the past.
Just a sea of Kamala Harris/ Joe Biden superized massive families who are breeding generations of future gangsters and pockets of elites who party on rooftop patios so they aren't around the 3rd world social conditions at ground level.
Biden/Harris can't fix this overnight. This is not on them.
It absolutely is up to them to formulate and implement a response. Thus far they've done nothing but have Jen Psaki make awkward, defensive, and unconvincing comments during press briefings. The '94 Crime Bill was a Federal response and was fairly effective in some respects although it was unfortunately tied up with the silly War on Drugs.
But knowing this admin, the next step would probably a photo op with some police chiefs that does nothing.
So I agree with less incarceration for drug users, which should open up capacity for violent offenders. There are a lot of people on the street who shouldn't be.

Did you demand the same of "Trump's America"
because that is the biggest flaw of this entire thread. 6 months ago, the problem was the individual cities or lock downs, a year ago it was just the mayors fault.
the OP moves the goal post depending on who is in power. In January he posted list blaming mayors who had only taken office days before.
I'm not a partisan sheep lining up views with Fox or MSNBC talking points. Crime got worse under Trump but is exploding under Biden. He and Kamala are showing zero leadership here and I would have thought she'd know better. We have to reverse the defund mistake quickly and make that a priority. Biden is coughing up hundreds of billions to payback the unions who supported him, he could use some of those $ to help cities re-fund the police.
