It's about money for them. I bet you anything that if you

Have you actually done anything that resembles true 
clinical epidemiological research wrt to that claim?
Or is what you're saying purely anecdotal?

What I say about the death rate is purely anecdotal and I
know it.

There are more gangs(THOUSANDS) in LA than anywhere in America.

That's true across the country. The drop-out rate is bad in
places like you wouldn't expect in rural areas.

You have yet to verify that you really have any contact
with those kinds of people. I do because I'm part
of that professional community. And the retention rate
is a lot better than you think it is. How many scientists,
educators, doctors, lawyers, business people, tech(internet)
people do you actually know or come in direct contact with
day-after-day?

Why are *you* here? I mean, really... pool all of your resources
and get out. Just move. Don't whine about how you can't do it.
You *can* do it if you really wanted to. If you can travel
to other places you can *move* to other places. So get on with
it and stop attacking Phila.
