In reality, that might have a dramatic effect. Gang membership is all about
respect. Home turf being "Pansy Street" just might be enough embarrassment
for the gang to move. I think that I do remember a story about this
area, and it was infested with gang problems. This might also say something
about the citizens who live in the area who did nothing to assist the police.
There are many charges that require a citizen to sign on the dotted line. In
a gang infested neighborhood, this might take more courage than some would
think.
