Ten year ago my son had surgery at the Children's Hospital in New Orleans. The discharging nurse warned me to be very careful leaving the hospital. She stated three people (including an infant) had been murdered in the immediate neighborhood within the past twenty four hours.
Yep, back to normal.
One time in New Orleas East I stumbled across someone's shotgun in their backyard. There's only one reason to keep a weapon outside the house. The guys who were hanging around in the frontyard went and re-hid it as I was working. New Orleans crime problem is from the eople who moved into it a generation ago. Most all the true New Orleanians no longer live in New Orleans.
