[meta] Future of crime posts (pawb.social)

In the past, folks have had discussions in crime posts about not wanting to see crime posts, and it is rare to see one with a positive voting score unless it's something actionable (such as a fundraiser or a call for people to more safely store firearms). What are folks thoughts on the addition of a guideline or rule on crime posts? I think a good ground would be discouraging hot-off-the-presses two-sentence articles that local news outlets immediately put out, but I would like to know what the community would think is reasonable before everyone is driven away.

There are people who won't come to my house because I live on "the north side". This is the attitude I've experienced from people who live in Tosa, Bay View, Greenfield, Shorewood, etc. Even someone who I thought liked living in Milwaukee is going to move into one of the fringe cities as soon as she can. Another friend's family moved from California and wanted to buy a house "anywhere but in the city of Milwaukee".

This is a REAL problem affecting this city.
