The people who say it’s bad have never lived anywhere else. They moved from Billings or where ever there is no crime because there is no people. Then they moved somewhere with people. KC and STL are more crimey. There are places there that you actively should avoid going to. There is no bad part of Springfield. North side is not bad. It’s worse than the south side

Came here to say this same thought by my twist- I’ve lived both KC and STL. There isn’t anywhere around here I wouldn’t walk unarmed with my wife and kid any time. Not true of the other two places. People have no idea.
