When I lived there it was a safe place to live. I would walk there in midnight and I feel safe. I haven’t seen any problem. There’s always a police person walking that beat. Just don’t flex your muscle, and you’ll be alright. Watch out for the mahus if you’re not into that. Downtown is a bit more chic now since I have resided there. People with drug problems (talking mostly about meth) tend to stay away from such place.
