Is st louis really that dangerous? |
Travel Info I've heard that st louis missouri is a very dangerous city, however I would like to get the opinion of someone who actually lives there. is the whole city dangerous or is it just parts of it like los angeles or D.C.? Travel Tips The rankings recently came out naming St. Louis as the U.S.'s most dangerous city. I believe this only referred to the city of St. Louis specifically. So, yes, downtown and some of the neighboring areas are considered fairly dangerous by law enforcement. On the other hand, there are some extremely nice suburbs, especially in western St. Louis county and St. Charles. Others Just take your 9 and be ready to bust a few caps when the slappies come to crime you. St. Louis got the dubious distinction of being the most dangerous city in America based on the FBI's Uniform Crime Report. This breaks violent crime into "number of violent crimes per 100,000 people." However, just like any other large city, some neighborhoods are very dangerous and some are as safe as a small town. I live in MO. StL can be dangerous, but not if you know where you're going. Don't go somewhere unfamailar at night. Never go to East StL. The burbs are usually okay. The Loop and the Hill are questionable as is Forest Park. One of my good friends had her brand new SUV stolen off the street while she and her husband were at a Cards game. The police found the car thanks to OnStar though. Basically, you just have to be careful where you go and when. Saint Louis has its dangerous parts. Avoid the area that is part that is north of the Delmar Loop, and I suggest that if you ever come here, please travel with a group after dark if have to take the bus or Metro Link. I am in East St Louis and I don't have any problems there or in STL. If you look for trouble you'll find it. If you look like you know where you are going and not like a tourist, you'll be ok. The city is bad. The North Side, West Side, and a lot of The South Side is bad. The county is pretty nice though |
