You can definitely go to downtown and the MSU campus at night lol what are you talking about? People on here act like it’s downtown St. Louis

I'm not even worried about walking around downtown St Louis at night. Generally, if you don't start no shit there won't be no shit.

I worked near downtown and msu for multiple years. I usually got off work at midnight and ive seen too many dangerous situations to consider them places i’d rather not go to at night alone. Downvote me all you want, but Spfd being a top 10 Violent Crime city per 100k people in recent years does mean there are dangerous areas that you should at least be careful in.

or maybe you should realize your anecdotal experience is not reality? one look at the downvotes and upvotes on your thread should give you a pretty good idea that you might be wrong

I guess suddenly stats are overturned by majority opinion (appeal to majority)? https://worldpopulationreview.com/us-city-rankings/most-violent-cities-in-america. Everyone I speak too feels the same way about downtown and MSU. Note that a majority of people on reddit are a significant minority of the people in and around spfd so to use their majority beliefs as the majority springfield belief is not accurate in any way (political example: majority of people on here are blue voters while green county went red in the last two elections by 16%+)
