Just my opinion

The definition of journalism is to sensationalize everything. Drive a wedge between rich and poor, black and white, Democrat and Republican, young against old. The news media thrives on negativity. Even the weather is that way. They invent terms like "wind chill" and "heat index" so they can make it sound hotter and colder than it really is. It is a career field that has no credibility.

It is sad this happened. Yes we have crime on the South side but I still call it home. Short of bull dozing the old parts of town, I am not sure what you can do about it. You can't just move out because those new homes on the North side will not be new for ever. My house was built in 1952 and I have never had a crime happen to me personally although I know people that have. I just watch out for my neighbors and try to help create an environment where crime is not welcome.

Sorry for the rant about the media. I just don't like the news.
