Roman also pointed out that there is definitely more disorder in cities than there was five years ago. I dont think thats up for dispute.
However, he said, "People confuse disorder and crime, so the presence of a lot of disorder can signal to regular folks that they are in a dangerous place, when they arent necessarily in a dangerous place.
This part of the article sounds like some crazy PR bullshit. See all those crazy drug addicts screaming and acting erratic? Don't worry they aren't dangerous!
