I’m curious, which neighborhood, or quadrant, are you in? Some parts of the city have had pretty serious violent crime problems for many years, but many haven’t.

Previously in Churchville, short stint in the 19th Ward, now near West Ridge in Greece.

Churchville is an idyllic little town, because it's far enough out that the inner-city problems don't reach it. I don't feel safe downtown, and I understand why CCW applications have skyrocketed.

Wow, I grew up in Churchville. Spent some time in Pittsburgh and Boston and now I'm back in Rochester (East Side). Never thought I'd see my tiny hometown mentioned on HN.

It really is a lovely place. I grew up next to the Black Creek dam, used to take a coffee out there and just watch the sun rise.

There's your problem. If you want to be in the city, stay in the SE quadrant

That's the thing, it's spreading. Used to be that Lyell Ave was the "bad part" of town, now it's everywhere except in close proximity to the gentrified areas.
