		Remember the Mayor’s News did not say police calls for the city went down only on the blocks the problem people were displaced from to create more chaos and destruction somewhere else.
		Since the Mayor has accurately determined that targeting repeat offenders is the key to a successful solution of the problem, it would follow that people who routinely generate police calls for drug, alcohol, domestic, vandalism and other low level crimes be placed in a housing facility that could be monitored and isolated.
		After discussing the problems with the Mayor, I was assured he wanted to meet with the business owners in the area to discuss the issues.
