Americas biggest problem in the inner cities. They are literally ghettos were gangs and violence run rampant. The schools are pure shit. The kids have no future. The cops crack down hard (half because they have to in order to maintain any semblance of peace, half because they become jaded).<p>But that part of America is shockingly isolated from the rest of us. Chicago is a great example. There are blocks where on side of an intersection it&#x27;s gang territory and the other is totally safe.<p>There are huge swaths of Chicago that are rich, peaceful, and probably the best city living in America. There are also huge swaths of pure poverty and gang warfare.<p>If you are born on the right side of the tracks, it&#x27;s a great place. If you aren&#x27;t, well, good luck.
