Reply to comment by 22TopShelf22 in Springfield is up there in the violent crime rankings. Is it safe for an incoming Missouri State student? by viraxil359

This. Actually go look at the physical location a place is at prior to sending an email or calling someone about it. No rental place is gonna say “yeah, it’s pretty unsafe here, I wouldn’t keep valuables in your room”

That’s exactly what I mean. Rental and real estate places will do everything they can to make sure the pictures on their website look great. The meth house 3 doors down won’t be shown.

True, you can have a nice neighborhood two blocks from the hood; expect you’ll get robbed
