The Gallup Poll on cities in the U.S. this past Spring has a lot to say about Charm City.
http://wjz.com/topstories/local_story_304144045.html
According the the poll, only twelve percent of the people living in the city say they feel safe walking in their neighborhood alone at night. Twenty three percent say they don't feel safe at all in that situation.
Baltimore ranked last for safety.
I feel safe but I'm an idiot. I also used to live in Richmond when it was murder capital and I felt safe there too. Now this of course means knowing where is appropriate to go and where not to go. My neighborhood isn't THE safest, and the one next to it is less safe. I still feel safe walking through THAT one. I'm an idiot. Maybe.
On the other hand, fuck not feeling safe, that's what I say.

When I read that surbey first thought was, what's wrong with the 12 percent? Actually, I do feel pretty safe walking around, knock on wood veneer, but I live in the Northern. And I like to think that I'm very aware of my surroundings. And how much would it suck to move to some soulless 'burb, get depressed, bored and obese, then shot in the parking lot of the mall or get ChemLawn poisioning?
sorry, survey. I'm a little congested.
Early results from the wjz online poll: Do you feel Baltimore is safer now?

Less Safe 58%
