Numbers were recently released that show that violent crime in Minneapolis and specifically North Minneapolis dropped 14% and 17% respectively. As much as I would like to attribute all of that to good investors and good landlords buying North Minneapolis properties to clean up the foreclosure mess, I don’t think we can claim complete credit. But I do believe it helps!

I read a disturbing article regarding the movement of urban crime today. The article appears in this months Atlantic Monthly at Atlantic.com http://www.theatlantic.com/doc/200807/memphis-crime/4
If you choose to read the article you will be left wondering, “Where did the North Minneapolis crime go?”
I enjoy your blog, keep up the nice work.

Hey Bob-
Thanks for the comment. Very interesting article. I am not sure where the North Minneapolis crime went. That is always the question I have.
When the neighborhoods band together and force out the criminals, I always wonder where the criminals go to live. Do they simply dilute into the rest of the areas or stop being criminals?
