For me the crime and safety here is not a big deal because I have lived here my whole life and I am used to it. But I have spoken with people who are not from the projects and they have told me that my area is really scary because of what they hear on the news and from people.

I feel like even though there are a lot of resources and areas where one can spend time in my neighborhood. Not a lot goes on in my neighborhood unless you are here at certain time. As someone who has grown up here if I could do it again I would prefer to live somewhere else.
