CLE's east side is nearly all black or Jewish, and I haven't heard of any race issues or attacks on the 100,000 Jews clustered here.
But people are much friendlier to each other in CLE than in NYC.
Are we really saying the difference is housing scarcity?
That's just one part/symptom.
As I said:
The problem is that EVERYONE feels abandoned by the law. But some (many?) tend to think that other groups are to blame (or that they get better treatment, or are unfairly let off the hook). Then some get violent towards individuals that belong to the group they feel gets said better treatment (did anyone say class envy?).
And in NYC, where we are constantly trampled upon by the city, there are plenty of reasons to feel deprived.
BUT I wouldn't say that
The root of the problem is with those that are committing these attacks not the victims.
as those committing the attacks are just the last link in the chain. The ROOT of the problems is the hate mongers/politicians/activists that thrive on envy and conflict. Al Sharpton, AOC, etc. etc. (just to mention those who do it in a less veiled manner than others), along with lack of proper G-d fearing education.
