    Re: “Guest Opinion
    The Truth?

    The "Creative Class" in Tucson found the Good Mexican Weed and now they are a bunch of burnouts. Anyone moving in gets this in 5 seconds.
    These Tucsonans THINK they are creative but they are just confused, do-nothing stoners. "Too-stoned Arizona" wasn't coined yesterday. They need to switch to espresso.

    Re: “Police Action
    Funny how the FBI disagrees. Their site shows an appaling number of crimes reported in Tucson, and then goes on to say that the entity (city) did not even collect accurate data on property crime.

    So who's story is correct? Cities love to under report crime. Lot's of Tucson cops never leave their cars (most of them). We need storefront policing- not car jockeys.

    We know one murder a week is not great. We have always been a huge magnet for property criminals. Cops here only touch the tip of the iceberg when it comes to drugs, and often look the other way on the big stuff. Car theft is huge and getting bigger. Everything from here to the Mexican Border now must be chained down or is stolen, our friends in Tubac say.

    Anecdotally, our car alarm for a vehicle parked on a safe street goes off at least once a week, and we hear distant gun shots weekly too. Doesn't feel safe any more. But we choose to live here.

    But are we truly safer than a few years ago? The numbers mean nothing to a victim, and we know more every year.
