1. I find it hard to believe DC doesn't make the top

30?

2. The US has clusters of cities. Poor people often find themselves

in small cities near big ones. In Canada we have often amalgamated our clusters into big metropolitan areas. That way there is money from the richer parts to mitigate poverty and crime in the former crime ridden parts. It doesn't stop things like drug addiction areas and crime there but it mitigated crime in neighborhoods.

3. Peoria, IL

Where everyone with a warrant out of St. Louis and Chicago go to hide out to keep on crimeing.

4. Little Rock would seem to be tempting target for a Trump take over.

Little Rock has a real crime problem - including violent crime.

The mayor is a black Democrat. The City is a light blue enclave in a blood red state. The Governor is Sarah "Smokey Eyes" Huckabee Sanders - she would welcome a federal take-over of the city. The MAGAt majority in the State would applaud a federal take-over.
