As one of the people who has been involved in some of those discussions recently, I will say that I think there is merit to thoughtful, constructive content relating to crime that helps advance the conversation and bring awareness to solutions and progress.
What I don’t think is appropriate in the format of a Lemmy community is posting a link to every bulletin that a new crime happened. This community isn’t a police scanner, and I don’t think the structure of Lemmy, or Reddit for that matter, are conducive to spamming repetitive, shallow content.
I want to make it clear that yes, I do care about crime, want to see it reduced, and I am not trying to turn a blind eye to it. But I don’t need to know every single incident to know that it’s happening. These bulletin-style crime reports don’t give me, and I would imagine many people, new information that helps further the process of policy, social support, etc that could improve the state of the issue.
Ah yes, another opportunity for corporate landlords to artificially inflate housing prices while barely maintaining the property
