There are very few Providence neighborhoods which are "Black majority". Perhaps only Upper & Lower South Providence. Formerly, African American neighborhoods are now mostly Latino Majority. Dominican & Central American. Most of the neighborhoods he crime trashes are Latino Majority, not black.

In Providence as well as Boston, Blacks are responsible for an extremely disproportiate share of violent crime. You've chosen to racialize the conversation and this is a relevant fact when discussing crime in our cities.

And, if true, has what to do with the quality of a neighborhood?

Why don't you look into it and when you're convinced by empirical data of my statement's veracity, we can discuss how violent crime degrades the quality of a neighborhood. Any neighborhood. Or better still, leave race out of this altogether.

Racism is an uncomfortable elephant in any room. Whether it's implied or otherwise. To make a forum occupation of trashing neighborhoods, he knows nothing else about except his copy paste "crime reporting", is beyond sad. The good news is his "crime reporting" partner has abruptly departed & he's since been joined by no one.
You must read "Rules for Radicals" to understand what's behind this fellow's strategy. It's nothing new, and has been proven to be very effective.
I don't have to read a book. You need to learn to be less obvious. Otherwise, stand proud & own it. To now be called a slumlord "radical" by the likes of you (amongst other mindless pejoratives), is probably my greatest honor here.

More a crutch than an elephant.
