Depends where in South Philly. I live in Passyunk Square, and I feel very safe here (as a petite woman), and I'm planning on raising at least one kid here (expecting my first next month). There are tons of families here.

I haven't seen drugs around (besides the obvious alcohol/cigarettes/weed), but I haven't gone looking for them either. I'm sure they exist.

That’s good to hear! Where we live now there are projects and whatnot but the overall vibe is that people are happy and they get along with each other.

So I’m guessing a 13 year old walking or taking public transit to school in center city alone would not be out of the ordinary?

Based on the two hour delay the other day, the subway was packed like sardines with a bunch of late elementary to high school kiddos going to school on their own. I felt like odd man out being a grown ass adult at 9AM.

I don’t have any personal experience to speak of, but I get the impression that that’s normal!
