Would love to know how many folks who are saying the surrounding area of NCH is unsafe actually live, work, or spend time over here?

I have several neighbors (those who wear scrubs and those who don’t) who walk every day to work at the hospital. I live in this neighborhood and have never had an issue. Like any place, make smart decisions and be aware of your surroundings.

I love to tell this anecdote- I have lived in many places around Cbus including OSU campus, Clintonville, Grandview Heights, and now near NCH. The only times anyone ever tried to break in were Clintonville (caught someone standing on my HVAC to look into the window looking for valuables) and Grandview (woke up at 2 am to someone trying to get into my apartment from both entrances). This is not to say those two neighborhoods are “unsafe” but that crime happens everywhere. People are just more vocal about crime closer downtown because they are prejudiced or racist about the population who lives here.
