The great social critic James Howard Kuntsler has often brought up the fact that NorthWest Indiana is the armpit of the nation. Gary Indiana and its surrounding towns are some of the most depressing areas and indications of America's architecture inferiority as a nation and it is really a place that no one cares about nor chooses to live. This combination makes it open to some really sick twisted people and this is a region that hashed its shares of serial killers that often get little press coverage. Gary Indiana had a man named Darren Vann kill seven black women he met off the computer and the press largely ignored these crimes and have done so with this region for a while. As James Howard Kuntsler says if civic leaders don't care about improving their areas and making them better visible livable places to settle down why should the rest of the suckers who are stuck in places like NorthWest Indiana as long as the victims come from the economically depressed and black poor sections of America few care for the victims of this sick man. It is no accident that Gary Indiana has had a disproportionate number of serial killers that few have paid attention to over the years as this is a region that time and the rest of the country has forgotten about. Darren Vann is just another of many predators that preyed on the vulnerable women who in need of cash make themselves available targets in places like Gary. The fact that so few care about these crimes makes these a double crime for our nation and you never see man of these crimes taken places in wealthier neighborhoods as women are less vulnerable in families that control the economies and their own destinations. James Howard Kuntsler should reapply his criticisms towards those more in power to make decisions to why some areas are built and look better on others based on income wealth of the people living in these segregated places all over America. There will always be more Darren Vanns in regions where men are idle and resentful of inabilities to improve their living arrangements against a society that holds them back and some will take out their frustrations in unsettling ways.
