If we want to reduce gun violence🔫 in our country, we should increase foot patrols of police in high crime neighborhoods,👮 install brighter street lights,💡 spruce up bus stops and parks,🚏🚍 plant more trees and flowers,🌳🌻 reduce speed limits and lanes,🚗🚙🚕 encourage gardens and backyard chickens,🐔🐔 host more street fairs and block parties,👪👬 and encourage wealthier people to move to the troubled neighborhoods👷🙋👴 to rehabilite old houses and generally gentrify them.🏡

Gentrification of bad neighborhoods is the only proven way to end gun violence.🏠🏦🏫 All other methods have little to no evidence of their effectiveness.
