It’s odd for an upper income enclave to lack adequate police service but New Orleans Marigny neighborhood endures too much violent crime and too few in blue to stop it. Residents, businesses and allies have a golden opportunity to create safety where little to none exists. It means exiting comfort zones insisting it’s a suburb instead of a high income sliver surrounded by high crime areas. Residents must become much more wary in the face of inner city bicycle gangs targeting transplants walking and cycling. Well intentioned concern about at risk youth is folly unless tempered by caution. Local police on television warn women to walk in pairs, a sure admission that this holiday season has very real ” horror day ” potential.
