That leads to an unusual suggestion by Ludwig to curb gun violence: “zoning commercial so that you have more foot traffic in a neighborhood.” [More]
And seeing how this guy rolls, expect those zones to be “gun-free.”
You shouldn’t have to tell a “scientist” that correlation is not causation. I don’t get much foot traffic around my house, yet somehow we manage to behave ourselves.
We’ve got a pretty good idea about why some neighborhoods are different from others. But everyone is afraid to talk about it.
