[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Because most of the crime comes from poor people. Most of the poor people in NOVA are illegal immigrants, and while they do commit some crime, they aren't nearly as brazen about it since they can be deported. Also, they are usually working and don't have all the idle time for that. [/quote] This is part of the answer. NoVA also had pretty strict racial covenants up through the 1970's in some areas. Lots of redlining in NoVA, so poorer African-Americans were essentially forced to live in DC and MD, which had loosened their racial covenants in the 1960s. Similarly, NoVA had strict zoning about multifamily housing because they didn't want to attract "those people" who couldn't afford a SFH. Crime is most closely correlated with poverty. Where do the poor live in this region? That explains the answer. It has nothing to do with race, 2nd Amendment rights, or culture.[/quote]
