Gentrified neighborhoods aren't necessarily free of crime, either. There's a low level of gang activity here as well as other crime-related activity which seems to be all over Chicago... muggings, beatings, etc. It's just that when it's a violent crime and it happens here (and is reported), it gets a lot more news coverage than if the same thing were to happen in other areas.
What's frustrating to me is that there seem to be cops ALL over this neighborhood, but then they're talking about bringing the national guard into the south side because "crime is out of control there." Well... maybe if you pulled back your forces and drove by my house maybe once every two hours instead of twice an hour you'd be able to have a more robust police force in those areas.
