re: Growing gang problem in Knoxville

Yeah, city limits Knoxville and city limits Chattanooga are very comparable. I think Knoxville may have roughly 10kish more people than Chatt, but Knox County is considerably larger than Hamilton County and the Knox Metro is much larger than the Chatt metro.

However, the demographic breakdown is very different between the 2 cities. I think that's why people aren't as surprised by Chatt having more gang problems than Knoxville. Just my 2 cents
