No, illegal was the Republicans’ gerrymandered Virginia map that hat to be tossed because it violated the Voting Rights Act.

Yes she's amazing great job she's doing for her area

Portsmouth, Virginia tops the list of the most dangerous cities in Virginia, with 58.15 per 1000 people.
In 2024, the city recorded an alarming 8.84 violent crimes per 1000 residents, alongside a property crime rate of 49.30 per 1000.
These statistics position Portsmouth as one of the most challenging cities in terms of public safety within the state.
Annual Crimes in Portsmouth:
Population: 97,029
Violent Crimes: 858
Property Crimes: 4,784
Total Crimes: 5,642
Chances of Becoming a Victim: 1 in 113.
The root causes of Portsmouth’s crime issues are multifaceted, primarily driven by a high poverty rate and substantial economic challenges. Its poverty rate is higher than the national average.
The city has struggled with unemployment rates that exceed the national average, limited job opportunities in key sectors, and a workforce that often lacks access to the education and training necessary for upward mobility.
These economic hardships create a breeding ground for both property and violent crimes as residents face desperation and limited options.
Portsmouth’s crime rates are further exacerbated by issues such as housing instability and a lack of investment in public infrastructure.
Neighborhoods facing the highest crime rates often show signs of neglect, with public areas in disrepair and homes in dilapidation.
While Portsmouth cannot be rated as the most dangerous city in USA, its crime rates certainly rank it quite high.

Louise Lucas is doing what she can to deal with a bad situation that she did not create. Old, white conservatives did that. They went to great lengths to defund public schools and oppress black people over many decades. Don't blame the people in that area because they don't have a lot of opportunities available to them today.
