I worked in New Haven for 3 years and have lived in the area for 12 years. I’m plenty familiar with downtown and am there multiple times a week. I, nor anyone I know, has ever had an issue there. Sure things happen, but consider that hundreds of thousands of people pass through downtown every year and it’s no more dangerous than any major city.

Calling downtown a good area says enough about your standards. I worked in down town and literally saw an overdose every single shift I worked except for snow days . Living in downtown would be comparable to living in any hood area like any new haven native would tell you .

If downtown isn't safe I'd love to hear your impression of where it IS safe? Someplace where crime is somehow impossible? Down town is as safe as any place, once you leave your house.

I would call milford safe , west haven relatively safe , amity relatively safe , the Yale section of downtown safe. Just because nothing happened to you there doesn’t make it safe by comparison to other places
