I live a half block off of Harford in Hamilton and I love the road diet. I safely can cross Harford road on foot with my kids and my dog. The city has also accelerated the process for installing speed humps on side streets.

Jong Kak second floor. They rent out private rooms. It's Korean themed, so you will get absolutely irrelevant, crazy videos playing that have nothing to do with the song. I thought it was hilarious/awesome, but some might find that off putting. I think you could probably fit about a dozen or so people in there comfortably, but it's been a while.

I agree 1000%. We’re thinking about moving out of this city to start a family. What a sad city.

Those answers seem great to the problem but the thing is that most youth nowadays don’t have a good work ethic. Plus whatever monney the make from committing crimes will be higher than doing a regular job so why wouldn’t they go back to doing the same crimes after being released

It was already dangerous to swim in but I'm pretty sure we've achieved Australia level danger at this point. Going down under that water is extremely ill advised.

>No jobs, bad schools, bad housing situation.
the problem is that the voters won't support any politician actually solving the problems.
you want jobs? make the city more tourist friendly, which means getting rid of squeegee workers, dirtbikers, and heavily policing the tourist areas.
we can't even get our politicians to stop building massive low-income housing blocks that have been proven to be a bad approach for the better part of a century because think housing supply is a problem when the reality is that poor public safety causes our current housing stock to fall into abandonment and disrepair. if you want to fix affordable housing, make people feel safe and it will solve itself. but new strategies for policing are constantly pushed back on by voters.

certainly most people who grow up in bad situations don't turn into killers. it takes less than 1 in 1,000 to create problems for a city. I'm not sure how you find the bad apples and separate them without doing unjust things. I suppose you can arrest more folks for lower level crimes before they become killers and try to reform when with more time in jail/prison/rehab/mental hospital, but arresting more and jailing more isn't a popular idea right now.

ironically, higher crime drives away employers, tourism revenue, property values, etc.. the cycle is hard to break.

Ultimately, money. Crime is a direct consequence of poverty, the quality of your education is a direct result of how valuable your homes are, people beating the good old "harsher sentences" drums fail to recognize that most people committing crimes either don't think they'll be caught or don't care.
Higher wages, making it easier for people to get jobs when they leave prison, better affordable housing option, more funding to local schools and community centers, etc. The more we build up the foundation the fewer problems we'll see

>An actual perceivable threat of jail time is one way to do that.
Yea bruh I'm sure most criminals are making detailed decision flowcharts about which crimes to commit and how much punishment they can expect from committing those crimes 🙄
Lmao where the hell are you getting the idea that there's no "perceivable threat of jail time?" People committing crimes associated with poverty generally consider death or jail to be inevitable. So that kinda pokes a huge hole in your little theory.

There's a few Double T diners around, which are like your classic old-school diner. Broadway Diner also falls into this category for me.
Then there's also Pete's Grille, The Lunchbox, and Silver Queen Cafe.
