Richmond issued a general advisory to not give money to the homeless as they keep stabbing people in the neck if they don't get the amount they want.
My wife's apartment on West Leigh and Goshen street in Richmond was across from an old printing shop which got turned into a studio/music venue/haitian barber shop.
Everytime I was on a zoom call with her I was hearing gunshots from coons shooting at each other after or during a concert. This was right next to a elementary school.
My sister-in-law was molested by a troon in a corner store in Monroe Park.
Some lunatic ran up on my wife when she was hammocking in Forest Hill (a pickle ball and pond park) and started jacking off.
Homeless people are constantly screaming and breaking shit.
Broad street went from bookstores to fucked in about three years.
My wife worked in a museum in the hospital district and they were robbed twice and she was followed and harassed by some tweaker.
Two friends of my sister in law have witnessed brutal muggings, one of which ended with a man being shot and killed,
That's in the last three years or so.
I grew up in Columbus, Ohio and crime was and still is terrible. I was in a part called German village and lived near a park where routinely nogs would steal kids bikes, usually knocking them off and kicking the shit out of them. These are like 9 year olds tops. Constant break-ins and thefts, wrought iron gates stolen for scrap. Across the bridge next to my dad's law office is South Franklinton which was literally always having the EMS called for some shooting. Under the bridge was and still to some degree is a massive homeless encampment where tons of people died of AIDs in the 80s and heroin in the 90s and early 2000s. Now it's just fent and even more recently crank. My best friend in high school OD'd thrice before he was finally able to kick it, but about five or six of my friends either died from drugs or drug motivated shit.
Cities are fucking gay
