“However their neighborhoods are safe, women can walk the streets at night etc. Money to the church and to help people.”
Definitely correct. Little Italy in NY comes to mind.
very true.
North End of Boston was very safe. A relative lived there as a young woman and a girl friends father was involved with the mob.
One day my relatives apartment was broken into and a number of
items were stolen. Word got to her GFs father and in a couple days everything that was stolen was returned.
No idea what happened to the burglar.
But you never heard of muggings, robberies and so on in the North End.
