This is terribly stereotyped

I've lived in the Hollow for most of my life and go out at night and I've never seen an open air drug sale, stabbing, needles, or anything of the sort. I once found weed on the bridge over the whippany, but like Dover, the crime is incredibly overblown (and no doubt because it's full of "undesirables" or people of color).

I often see mothers with their children walking down the street, or occasionally a group of men with their music a little too loud at night, but even when I was 12, I never felt unsafe in that area, even after dark.
