>I just realized you are from NY, Danbury is like a shittier version of Poughkeepsie.

I don't agree with this at all. I have no problem walking around Danbury, while Poughkeepsie I don't like to drive through at night. Danbury is much nicer and has much less crime. POU does have that nice walkway and rail trail though.

I go for walks around Rogers Park late nights/ early mornings and have never had any issues.

The airport is general aviation so you'll hear a few planes on the weekends usually but nothing at night.

100% this. grew up in the NYC northern burbs (Westchester/Putnam/Duchess) and now live in Brookfield. Danbury is nowhere near as sketch as Poughkeepsie.

Comparing downtowns, Danbury is worse. Surrounding areas, they are about equal. People wise, Danbury is just kinda special.
