Annie's AirBnB

I recently commented on a news feed regarding a woman who conducts business by renting out couches to people who are travelling to Chicago on a budget.  The neighborhood (Englewood) has been described as one of the worst neighborhoods in Chicago by the Chicago police.  I am from Chicago and I know the neighborhood very well and have visited often and I must say it is not "the worst" neighborhood in Chicago.  But that is my opinion.  However, I am intrigued at this story because I have never seen so much attention drawn to one particular house from the Chicago police all because of the fact that they are concerned for the safety of "white people" travelling to this neighborhood and it could be dangerous for them.  What about people who live in that particular neighborhood?  Don't they need protection? What the Chicago police is trying to say is that it's o.k to drive through the neighborhood, just don't stop and get out, or walk, or for heavens sake by no means book a night's stay in Englewood! The Chicago police is embarrased by travellers and foreigners visiting and staying in Englewood because it shows that they are not doing there jobs of keeping the neighborhood safe! That's my opinion. I welcome yours....
