Ah, found it. :) Maybe he was here when it really was nice? If you just take a walk around on a quiet morning, it really does look like a nice neighborhood. An old lady across the street (died many months ago) told me that they'd lived there for decades and her grown kids were finally trying to talk her into leaving the area because it was so much more dangerous now. https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2019/09/09/the-book-of-prince

I can't find any historical summary explaining exactly when/how this area became the concentration of deadly activity for the whole city. I know it wasn't this way a century ago, but it definitely is now.
