Second murder in the six block autonomous zone in Seattle, CHOP/CHAZ. About 2,000 people live there - and that’s 4 shootings and 2 murders in less than two weeks. The zone does have its own armed guards, but police have generally been kept out of the area. I actually support the idea of CHOP, but they have not proven their ability to keep people safe without police.
Edit: I just learned it was armed CHOP security that actually stopped an attempted drive-by shooting by firing into the vehicle. The person killed was one of the shooters, not sure who the person in critical condition is.

So because it doesn’t crack the top 10 murder rate means it’s not a problem? It still has one of the highest murder rates in the country. Definitely cracks the top 20 though according to this list from 2018
The funny thing is when others cities with high homicide rates are discussed rarely do you see those residents go out their way to talk about other cities. I always see this with Chicago posters though.
I think it is more in relation to the city being viewed as having the highest homicide rate when it doesn’t.
To be completely honest, most American cities with at least 100,000 people have trouble spots in this regard, if not cities with a lower population(50,000 and up).
A drug epidemic like crack cocaine in the 1980's could get us closer to it. It would take longer than 2 years though. I'm thinking if the upward trend continues through 2025 then the 2015-2025 period will be seen as an overall rise, with a slight dip in 2017-2019 but was still higher than the low point of 2012/13-ish. I remember 2015 and especially 2016 having spikes.
Sure, and that's very possible. Especially since I think a city like NYC SHOULD average around 400-500 murders a year. Getting below 300 was a surprising miracle but i dont think people REALLY thought NYC would stay low forever.
