This quote is most telling:
“Where there’s poverty, there’s drugs – drugs and alcohol,” she said. “Where there’s drugs and alcohol, there will be guns. Therefore there will be crime.”
There is definitely poverty and guns in Pikes Peak Park – and it is nothing new. "
I assume there are more articles to come ? This one represents death in a disintegrating poor neighborhood. I can see the same thing in a 1940's 'model suburb near where I work . I have family that saw the same thing in a disintegrating neighborhood in St. Louis, and ended up moving out to keep their children safe.
What's the root cause ? Poverty. Right ?
