Black people are more likely to be shot there as well, are you saying it is the lack of spending on infrastructure that is the cause for this as well?
see, that's where the problem is, you are attributing a cause to a problem without proof that it is the real cause.
In college the popular saying is: correlation does not prove cause
the example they like to give is:
ice cream sales go up in summer
crime goes up in summer
so does ice cream consumption cause crime?
my observation is that higher bicycle deaths in minority neighborhoods has the same cause as the higher number of gunshot deaths
