This is success?

About 1 in 6 families in the district live in poverty. The same dataset estimated the national rate to be about 1 family in 9.

The unemployment rate in the district was about 8.2 percent by the American Community Survey’s 2015 one-year measurement. The same data set estimated the national unemployment rate at 6.3 percent, and the Georgia state rate at 7.1 percent.

Atlanta landed at No. 14 in the nation for its rate of violent crime when the Federal Bureau of Investigation released statistics this year that applied to 2015.

Numbers don’t lie.

There are many campuses located in unsafe areas. University of Chicago, Yale, USC, VCU, ... I could go on. However, Trump is correct about much of Atlanta. The latest crime wave there involves carjackings at convenience stores; hundreds in the past few months.

The beltway referred to as ‘ring around the Congo’ apparently more descriptively than derisively.
