Good stuff - thanks! Interesting about changing neighborhoods and crime, too. The Grant/Alvernon area has long been the crime/drug capital of Metro T-Town. Renown civic pitbull, Ronni Kotwica from PVNA and others and got together with TPD back in 2011 to form the Alvernon/Grant Initiative(AGI). It’s still going strong and has been so successful around crime control and positive police relations it has been replicated in other areas, in other wards.

Ie if de Simone thinks that criminslizing homelessness in washes and medians is the way to go he should just make his address public so they all have a place to go. And if he thinks only drug or alcohol addicts end up being homeless he isnt watching very carefully.
