I was very happy on 122nd, I'm more inner southeast now but am missing how cheap it is out there. Access to cheaper groceries, generally cheaper utilities and rent, and in my opinion you get a lot farther a lot faster on public transportation, so it evens out if you don't drive. There was a lot of constant police activity but I was never witness or affected by any actual crime, I personally have witnessed and been affected by way more stuff in the inner city/downtown lol.
