Kansas City Losing 'Broken Windows Theory' Urban Core Blight Fight???

The Broken Windows Theory has long been disproved but it sounds nicer than getting tough on crooks and throwing more violent people in jail. Accordingly, here's the latest local presser on the topic: KCPD's East Patrol Initiative seeks to demolish vacant houses

  1. broken windows is bigger than real estate.

    it's details of things that aren't right, whatever they are. yes, that unfortunately includes parking and speeeding tickets as well as loitering.

    there's something wrong with the skyrocketing violence.

    what, is hard to say. that's why everything--everything--that can be seen as out of place needs to be addressed.

    then, the more serious exceptions are either more visible or fade.

    but allowing disorder creates a sense of anomie that is insidious.

  3. Uh , 35 million investment at 31st and Troost.
    27 million investment at Linwood and Troost
    3 bedroom shirt waist homes east of Troost selling for over $200 K
    Brookside East ,
    A new grocery at 31s and Prospect & 47th and Troost
    Homes selling in Hyde Park in less than a week.
    The only issue, ZERO patrols by Central Patrol and neighborhoods working around Chief Forte's mismanagement of KCPD .....and still prospering
