The Way It All Began!

Yeah but the people of Miami were dealing with the ruthless Medellin Cartel day in day out. I would be terrified of the thought of living there during that time. Its sort of a small county as well, the population was in the early 80's was 1.7 million. Chicago for example was roughly 3 million in 1978-80s

Animals who would open fire in the street during the day not giving a damn about the public.

And that's what Chicago sees today, too. The bulk of their homicides are concentrated in a handful of police districts (the neighborhood of Englewood, for example, had 85 homicides and 356 people wounded in 2016, out of a total population of around 30,000; Austin, another Chicago neighborhood, had 92 and 445 respectively, from a total population of under 100,000). Gangs aren't as flashy as the early cartels, but they're every bit as ruthless and if anything more indiscriminate about who and where they shoot.
