If this tragedy isn't enough to cause the city to make a change, then unfortunately something even worse may have to happen before the city takes notice. Or, maybe if someone affluent is attacked that will get the city's attention. Who knows.

Too late. That has happened several times. The city council needs to get their priorities in check.

I'm no stranger to the 3rd world, either. I'm a former Peace Corps volunteer. I was simply making the point that for the richest country in the world, there are areas that come surprisingly close to resembling the living conditions in the 3rd world. The growing disparity between rich and poor here is also reminiscent of 3rd world conditions.
