An article in this morning's Wall Street Journal (
http://on.wsj.com/1sNu9Ws ) discusses the effect of the end of "proactive policing" produced by federal policies and various pressure groups, such as "Black Lives Matter," on security in urban areas. Last year murders were up 17% in the 56 largest urban areas in the US, 60% in heavily black cities. In Chicago, in the first 4 1/2 months of 2016 murders are up 95% compared to the same period in 2014.
I am somewhat relieved that we let our family membership in the Museum of Fine Arts (Boston) lapse. There is no point in taking unnecessary risks.
Of course, this is consistent with everything else that is happening.
