Do you live in a major city? It is usually pretty apparent.How do we measure whether "basic law and order" is happening in a city?

Too much crime and you will never get the businesses there.

In what seems like an overwhelming majority of them, controlling violent crime. I also can't imagine there's a close second.What do you consider the core issue for any major city government? By this, the issue that if the city government fails at this issue, nothing else really matters.
That does not change peoples priorities.Common sense
Every city is different
Crime rates and the presence (or absence) of gang graffiti are good clues.
Crime rate in Austin rising faster than population growth, data shows
We wondered if Austin's population growth explains some of the growth in crime. The KVUE Defenders compared population data to crime data.www.kvue.com
With 60 homicides this year, Austin reaches all-time high
The previous record, according to police records obtained by the KVUE Defenders, was 59 homicides in 1984.www.kvue.com
Nope, procreation is paramount to all animals.You are correct. Law and order come first. Its primal. All humans are scared animals, no differant than any other species. Safety is paramount to all animals.
Are you unable to tell us?
Can you name a city that has "basic law and order" happening? One that does not?
And yet Monroe, LA is much more dangerous... Can you name a city where they have "basic law and order"?
Some cities have lower crime rates than others. Your question is hard to answer without defining the metrics used to say whether or not a city has “basic law and order”.

Drive around Memphis or St Louis, then drive around Minneapolis or Denver. Like I say, it will be readily apparent. Here is some context, when I live, KC, the murder rate is 32 per 100k. In Mexico City, it's 7 out of 100k.Are you unable to tell us?

I went with infrastructure because of water.water
That's my point.. It's a pretty meaningless measure...

First, that's not what you claimed in your post ("... safety is paramount...").Sorry, not ahead of food and shelter (safety)

Second, animals risk their survival every day to procreate.
Probably the high volume of "under-educated" members in society as to the Civics of America's Principles and Values and Legislated Policies and Laws of Regulatory Governance within/of this Republic and its Representative Democracy.What do you consider the core issue for any major city government? By this, the issue that if the city government fails at this issue, nothing else really matters.
In your estimation, how is this achieved?I usually don't like to make my argument before others post in a poll I have created, but I think on this one maintaining basic law and order is the most essential task of any city government. You cannot have good schools without law and order. You cannot have a good business climate without law and order. You cannot maintain your infrastructure without law and order. You will not have a sufficient tax base to invest in people and communities without law and order.
Wrong as usualThat does not change peoples priorities.
It's a whole host of things obviously. Everything from building trust in the communities served so that murder clearance rates are higher to strictly enforcing illegal camping ordinances so that parks and green space are not trashed.In your estimation, how is this achieved?
