Speaking as someone who walks their dog up and down S Regester literally everyday, my advice would be that it's mostly fine but gets spottier the further north you go. There are some vagrants and some drug activity (not unusual for broadway area tbh) and I have known female friends who have been harassed (never robbed or hurt but definitely spoken to uncomfortably) further north on Regester.

Regarding parking, it's decent for the area, though do note that some regester blocks do not actually have parking. Also you need to be, or will quickly become, a master parallel parker because the lane is so narrow between rows of cars that it can be tricky to get the right angle.

There are a group of people that hang out around Gough and Register. If you don't mind being cat called, it should be ok. Parking sucks... it's oddly easy now, but I'm guessing it's because a lot of people moved out recently. (My two roommates, 3 neighbors... and that's just 30 meters of me, lol.) Lot of trucks going out, haven't seen anyone come in recently. Parking at night sucksss... I wouldn't go too far past Pratt on Register. Standard "living in the city" rules applies here. Also, just plan on someone stealing your package if you leave it out. Pratt Liquors will let you deliver there for a buck a package.

What block? Dm me and i can provide sources, but the parking grid below baltimore street and north of fleet will be at a 100+% occupancy from 530pm-8am. It'll be 85%-100% occupied other times with parking spaces staying open for an average if 100 seconds.

If you drive a car and don't have a private spot you'll suffer for it. I am a subject matter expert.

Tldr: if your block is parking permit elgibile you'll be fine. If not your fucked and parking costs will hit you fo real with tickets or garages adding up.
