Rudi’s Broken Window plan worked in NYC, it will work any where. Problem is when you have black dems in control or just dems of a city it goes to hell in an hand basket in a hurry from schools to crime including government crime.
Memphis saw record crime this year too. Murders topped over 225, the country portion had like 6. Most black on black gang violence. With a few crazies thrown in who were on street drugs. 1 mom killed 4 of her children while strung out.
Rudi had the support of the NYPD. Chicago is so dysfunctional (like many other large, invariably single-party (D) cities -- eg Detroit, Newark and Baltimore) that it could be hopeless.
In Chicago, a street prostitute is more likely to have sex with a cop than to be arrested by one. The CPD would need to clean up the CPD first. Chances of that ever happening?
