Dangerous neighborhoods in your city?

Nope. Lived in the country all my life.
Nope and also just had to post this due to the title. All jokes aside I did live in a neighbourhood where there used be a lot Drug dealers etc so there be a lot murders etc a lot of the times there be cops in that area due to it But still it be scary as I would not go outside as I had to take the bus from that area to my house as I was scared to go to that area. Thank goodness we moved!
I do sadly live in a city that we refer to a section as 'the hood' on our north side thanks to all the traffic that pours in from Chicago.
There are a few dangerous areas where I live where people are more likely to get robbed, and assaulted. I would not go to the dangerous areas where I live. I used to live close to a dangerous area in my city.
More people are now riding bicycles, skateboards, and scooters on the sidewalk where I live, so I feel it is now less safe to walk on the sidewalk because of the greater risk of a person on a bike, scooter, or skateboard crashing into me.

I’ve moved around a lot, and some major cities I’ve been to actually have dangerous areas, but some were “dangerous” for local standards. I noticed for more of the whitebred states, dangerous was code word for “black people live there”.
One place I lived, people were scared of the side of town that had buildings built 20+ years ago, and didn’t have a Sprouts nearby.

I've lived in four homes my entire life, all within a 5 mile radius of each other. I live in very safe community - low crime rate, very affluent and educated populations.
There's a particular street in my city that my hubby and I will not live on even if you gave us a house on that street for free. I can't remember the actual name of the street at this moment but the hubby and I refer to it as "murder avenue" because that's where people go to get killed in this down. Every time you hear of a murder in this city, it's normally on that street 99% of the time.
Damn, and your local officials do nothing about it?
Usually fixing those places just involve kicking poor people out and replacing their housing with hipster coffee shops and Panera Bread. They cleaned up the street, but pushed the problem somewhere else.
Do you live with your parents?
No longer but I did for the first three homes.
Same with me. I grew up on acreage & we have acreage now. Cannot imagine living in the city or even suburbs.
I did with mine till I was 18 years. I have been on my own ever since.
I’ve lived in a few bad neighborhoods in my life.
They’re okay if you follow a few simple rules:
- Try not make eye contact with people.
- Mind your own business.
- Don’t go for a walk after dark, if you need to go somewhere, drive there.
The neighborhood I live in now is very nice though.

Went to Liverpool this weekend and this sums up my previous comment perfectly.
Laws of the rough land for sure.
You can make eye contact but make sure you do it with a mean face
and the person won't care about walking up to you down here.You need to stress minding your business because that's gotten a lot guys offed here.
I stayed in an area where young boys found access to guns. When people talk about ghetto, the place I grew up in comes to mind.
