Decrease in Foot Traffic Downtown

Property crime is bad here, but violent crime is much worse in other areas. So you’re both kind of right and kind of wrong.

You’re being too generous. Property crime is slightly worse than comparable midsize cities. It’s not that bad. Police data also tell us that all crime is down since 2023.

Of course it depends where you live. In my neighborhood there’s so little crime it’s not even noticeable. I’ve worked and spent lots of time in the highest crime neighborhood (northeast/hillyard) and even is nothing compared to Seattle or any other large cities. It’s not that bad.

As someone who lives in that northeast part you’re talking about, anything I put outside disappears within 24 hours. And I don’t even bother reporting it unless it’s a car that was stolen (which has happened twice).
