If we want to reduce gun violence๐ซ in our country, we should increase foot patrols of police in high crime neighborhoods,๐ฎ install brighter street lights,๐ก spruce up bus stops and parks,๐๐ plant more trees and flowers,๐ณ๐ป reduce speed limits and lanes,๐๐๐ encourage gardens and backyard chickens,๐๐ host more street fairs and block parties,๐ช๐ฌ and encourage wealthier people to move to the troubled neighborhoods๐ท๐๐ด to rehabilite old houses and generally gentrify them.๐ก
Gentrification of bad neighborhoods is the only proven way to end gun violence.๐ ๐ฆ๐ซ All other methods have little to no evidence of their effectiveness.
