Hey OP, sounds like you’ve got a consensus already but just to add my anecdote: Yeah I’m never worried walking around there.

I’m not blind, I know there are real issues. I don’t want to be dismissive of real victims of real crimes, but I’ll also say the doom and gloom on TV don’t accurately reflect reality. People are scared of the city, and that’s fine, but it’s exhausting to a lot of us.

I’ve lived here for almost a decade. I’ve regularly walked and biked in neighborhoods across the spectrum, and I’ve never had to dodge bullets. For some reason (Fox 45 running “CITY IN CRISIS” banners 24/7) people outside the city are shocked at my survival though.
