murders in Chicago are broadly distributed in the S and W sides. NYC or DC have had much higher murder rates than Chicago in the very recent past, yet the cities continued to thrive as most areas were nonviolent and safe.
It might be better to try to reduce the geographical size of the murderous areas, and worry later about reducing the total number of murders.
