“A closed business is not only a sore eye, but it’s a gateway for violence because when you see abandonment, it looks as if there is no love, no hope in the community,” Ald. William Hall of the 6th Ward told local news.

The solution is simple:
Fathers, be responsible for your children, and love only your wife.
Children, obey your parents. Stay in school, and work hard. Don’t turn to drugs or crime to escape.
Mothers, mind your children, and learn to say “no” to temptations.
Stop trying to be “bad!” like it’s a good thing, and be proud to be “good”.
And turn off that shi##y rap music.
I can add more to the list, but these are all things you can do, Alderman, to take responsibility without depending on government for a handout.
Stop blaming others, and take control of your own lives, your own families, your own schools, your own communities.
Well said.

An excellent statement of both the problem and the solution. In essence, if you want to behave like a primitive tribal thug, then you should expect that your surroundings will match your attitude. Tribal behavior leads to a primitive lifestyle. Not many KFCs in the depths of the Congo.
Simpler yet: If the people who elected this guy actually wanted jobs (a laughable assertion) then they would treat the businesses in their ‘hood with respect.
You forgot “Wear pants that stay above your waist, and use a belt if necessary to accomplish this, no one wants to see your ass crack.”
AMEN.
