Q: How do you save struggling neighborhoods on city borders, like Brookline, Beechview?
Ravenstahl: I live in one of those neighborhoods. All neighborhoods are treated fairly.
Acklin: My jaw just dropped. Tell that to the people in Brookline, Beechview, Homewood. You promised them the hokeymen they are gone. You've made a lot of promises that weren't delivered. Homewood doesn't even have right garbage cans.
Ravenstahl: Garbage cans showed our commitment to neighborhoods.
Harris: Garbage cans in front of boarded up storefronts. That's not a way to help neighborhoods, that's a way to spend city money.
Viewer question from Tom Brown of Windgap: What are positions on citizen ownership of handguns in home and for protection?
Acklin: I grew up as hunter. Can't say I shot a deer, I'm not that good of a shot. Enforce laws on books.
Harris: I belive in all amendments in Bill of Rights. Not support of people make money by getting children shot.
Ravenstahl: Homicides down. I'm a proud supporter of Mayors Against Illegal Guns. That being said support right to bear arms but not illegal guns - there's a difference between urban area and rural ones.
