Our inner cities became the safest places
Doug Sanders at The Globe and Mail explores how it is that Chicago is really a safe city -- compared to the world outside of North America. By the data, he's right.

Turns out that Chicago is safe indeed, as long as you're not a gang-banger or drug dealer (or in their line of fire). Understanding why is useful when we consider the rest of the world (Cairo or Peshawar or Mogadishu).

Though we at the Burg will still snark about Chicago.
