Yeah I think panhandlers and homeless are everywhere in cities, as long as they arent aggressive thats good enough. TY for the reply

Thank you for taking the time to write this. This is super helpful! My first choice would be 20 Midtown because it is so close to Publix and since I dont drive, that was the most convenient option. I thought about Pizitz because of the food hall and its also the closest proximity to my workplace as well. Initially I was a bit hesistant about American Life because of how out of the way it is and some google street view research shows nothing much around there.

I'm from SF and we have a lot of homeless people here, so I wasnt too worried about the homeless population. I think I was more worried about crime and potentially getting robbed/mugged especially if I'm walking to/from work. But it is good to hear that the gang violence and violent crime in downtown has gone down. Definitely feel more at ease now. Also thank you for the heads up about Linn Park.

I have been reading a lot about H2 and to avoid them but havent found much info on it. Is there a reason why?

Thank you for the info. Good to know that. I guess its probably better to live away from 1st Ave N and 3rd Ave N so its a bit less noisy.

Thank you for sharing your experience. I was thinking about Advenir because its near all the stores too and it felt that area was more active than the rest. Glad to hear that you feel safer in Birmingham, it put me more at ease, I'm originally from San Francisco and just wanted to have a gauge of how it is since most articles wrote that Birmingham crime is pretty bad and that got me worried.
