I get what your saying, but for reporting dorchester is dorchester and the towns reputation is based on the reports generated within. This isn't a "It's that neighborhood's problem", the schools intermixed, the police and fireintermixed, quite simply, it's dorchester.

There are problems unique to neighborhoods and streets within Dorchester. And to make geographically narrowly defined issues applicable to the broader space isn't sensible if you have any understanding of Dorchester at all.

You're bringing up weird data points that actually don't support your argument. Kids in Dorchester can register for schools in multiple neighborhoods outside of Dorchester, police precincts cover different areas of Dorchester (meaning you can't go into THE Dorchester PD HQ, you go into a precinct), and firestations are unique to even smaller precincts than the police. There's like 3 within a half mile of me.
