Reply to comment by givemebackmybrain in Temple holds safety town hall after student attacked near campus by redeyeblink

Not really, crime and violence plagues the neighborhoods east of there as well. It’s just that Temple is smack in the middle of North Central which led the city in homicides for a long time. Not sure why people keep expecting gentrification to get rid of crime when that’s not what happens on the ground.

For the longest time, all along Berks and surrounding were empty lots. It wasn't as dense with people as it is west.
