  • Anecdotal, but I moved from a rural area to an urban area 3 years ago and everyone told me that I’d need to get “street smart” and to be aware of my surroundings at all times, yet I’ve never had an issue. I mostly just get people who want to pet my dog. And I moved to an area that historically has been “the ghetto” but it turns out that it’s just a minority population who loves gardening and church. It’s honestly a great, wholesome area of folks who are just trying to get by with their own personal flair. I do occasionally see homeless folks who are actively doing crack or heroin on the trails but they never engage beyond a “Hello, can I pet your dog?” Or “Can I bum a cigarette?”. Shootings and crime are way down from 10 years ago and I feel perfectly safe walking my pup at night.
