As alluded to above, a well stocked supermarket and a functioning police force that treats the people living in the neighborhood as people to help instead of a problem to manage would be a start.

I don’t disagree. But that’s a complicated hornets nest. There’s a fine line between culture and policing. I think the intention is usually there. I think there are some major third rails that we need to deal with to help with those inner city issues. Both of them related to the apparently “untouchable” unions of both teachers and police.
If the local community are the customers for those programs then those two organizations need to be much more responsive to the local community. When there are no repercussions for bad actors then bad actors flourish.
You can’t reform organizations that are absolutely built to resist reform.

I don’t disagree but a lot of supermarkets aren’t to keen to open in a neighborhood where they have to keep everything behind lock and key.
Well, with a functioning police force, perhaps such drastic measures wouldn’t be necessary.
(Then there’s the perishable part of supermarket goods; not the same as the pharmacies you hear about getting stolen from)
