Crime, like any other business, is based on the least amount of expenditures to generate the most amount of income. If I having “Green Light” cameras and more patrols means the criminals move on to another business, how would that be bad for me?
If these things are paid for through taxation, rather than my own business outlays, and it means I can keep my prices a little lower, stay in business and employ a few people, how would that be bad for the neighborhood?
