That’s the way it is in pretty much all cities large and small.

I bet one of the streets is named “Martin Luther King, Jr. Blvd.”

I would assume the Rainier Valley and parts of the Central, although the latter was being gentrified by the Capitol Hill crowd when I was living there. The areas around Pioneer Square are a little seedy, but I assume most of the crime there centers on fights over the last bottle of Thunderbird.

For some reason “Posse on Broadway” by Sir Mix-A-Lot is running through my head. (Yes, children, he had a recording career before “Baby Got Back”.)

Based on 14 years worth of data that shows half of Seattle's crimes take place on 4.5 percent of its streets
It took 14 years for someone to figure this out?

Put those Street in prison!

If streets commit crime, outlaw streets, lanes, and highways!

It’s not the street’s fault; its criminal behavior was due to a poor gravel underlayment.

Streets don’t commit crime; Cars do!

Three potholes, and you’re out!

Kill all the streets and let Gaia sort them out.

Seems like those hot spots would be good places to go back to having cops walking a beat. More visibility and more interaction with the people.

Combat crime, quit paying for illegitimacy (the vast majority of criminals come from single mother households).

Let me see if I can guess without reading the article:

Martin Luther King Boulevard
Malcolm X Boulevard
Cesar Chavez Boulevard

How did I do?

This amazes me. 1st a 14 year study cost how much? And it looks like there was a study to study the summary and write an additional report...how much did that jewel cost? To study something law enforcement uses as a tool, wasn’t it some type of “containment policy” to allow certain areas to have these kind of problems sparing more desirable neighborhoods from similar crime?

An egregious waste of resources. They could have had learned the same results by walking into a squad room and talking to some veteran officers for free.

I stay out of Seattle. I used to a Mariners game once a year but not anymore. My wife is from Everett and we go there once in a while but only to visit family and friends in relatively safe neighborhoods.
