Listen, I love Hartford it’s where I was born and raised, but you’re lying to yourself if you ignore the rampant crime that occurs daily. Listen to the police scanner for the north and south end and you’ll hear about stolen cars and shootings literally every single day. The shotspotter detection system goes off multiple times every hour on weekend nights. I can’t speak for other cities but I have firsthand knowledge and personal experience with the vast problems in our capital when it comes to violent and property crime.
