They leveled the dangerous housing project that was across the street. I'm sure that has cut down on crime in that area.

Dangerous for the many folks subjected to years of black mold and dilapidated living conditions in those old apartments.

Lol it was the center of a federal investigation into crack distribution. Place should’ve been leveled years ago. CT completely squanders the area around Union Station

I have never felt a sense of immediate danger when they were there. Nothing has ever happened to me while standing in front or walking past. I would often go to store that was there to grab a drink or something to eat prior to getting on the train.

They’re on the docket for dealing crack, homicide, shooting and hitting a school bus, and were known as one of CT’s worst gangs. Definitely weren’t making the neighborhood any nicer
