Her theory that greenery reduces crime is not supported by the evidence in Chicago.
One of the neighborhoods in Chicago with the highest rates of murder is Englewood. A typical residential street in Englewood has single family houses surrounded by grass lawns with trees lining the sidewalks.
A typical street in Englewood with grass, trees, and yards.
The scene of a shooting in October where 4 people died. Seems like plenty of grass, trees, and greenery.
Megan Raney seems like an uninformed, elitist liberal who can't imagine that black people live in single family homes in a neighborhood with grass yards and trees and the young people still go out and shoot each other. And she thinks people should listen to her.
