That was not a suggestion, it was a demonstration that Philadelphia's crime problem is caused by the people who live there, not by the drinking water, or some electromagnetic freakish Philadelphia Triangle, or a lack of resources based on location. Replace all the people with a different group of people, and you would not have the same crime problem. It's a population contaminated with a corrupt culture, and that can't be fixed with outside money or the loving assistance of suburbanites, any more than we could turn the Mafia into a legitimate business through enthused singing of Kumbaya. In fact, infusions of cash into a corrupt culture will WORSEN the problem.
