On today's episode, Ryan and C.V. talk about ghetto neighborhoods and broken window policing. Why are some neighborhoods considered ghettos? Is there a racial component to impoverished neighborhoods? Is it okay as a Christian to want to live in a nicer, safer neighborhood? Do some of our police tactics help lift people out of poverty or keep them chained in it?
