In the dark, probably yes but not late at night - although I have absolutely no need/desire to go to that part of the City. As Ummmm says, its depends where you live. If I didn't feel safe here, we'd have moved.
BM OK....but that was where i was born and lived for 18 years...and as far as i remember there were no crimes other than "petty crimes"..........I wonder if that state of affairs persists today?
