    Plenty of ideas. But if I said “provide public housing” and “guarantee jobs for everyone over the age of 16”, you’d angrily rebut that this doesn’t give you someone to call when you feel scared.

    These are complex views of society aimed at alleviating criminal incidents, not simple hotlines you can dial to SWAT your neighbors.

      1. Public housing is a very good thing and needs to be expanded.
      2. However people will still be people and crimes will still happen, so some kind of law enforcment will still be needed.
      3. Same goes for jobs, some people will simply have better jobs, better pay, nicer homes, jealousy doesn’t just disappear becase you get a home and a job.
