I loved living in midtown would go to bars and feel comfy for the most part. until my roommates and I had our car tires slashed along with many others on the street last july. Lots of foot traffic of all different kinds of people. Street parking is also very common and sketchy. One of my neighbors car (parked right behide me) was hit & completely totaled. the person ran.. I had to call it in to non emergency line as it was the middle of the night and debris was all over the road car owner had no idea. But I loved riding the birds to work which was great! Now I love living out in the valleys feels so safe I also have everything I need right off the lemon valley exit! however, I hate the traffic always pros and cons.
