Is Its not as dangerous as people make it sound. Main South has had a shit reputation, its mostly just because poor/ low income folks live in this area, it doesn't mean its necessarily dangerous. BUT with that said, you still have to be smart, especially after dark, stay away from random people, there are crazies everywhere in this world. Most of the violence in the city is teenagers attacking other teenagers or people with mental issues going wild. Random violence can happen but it is rare.
