North Springfield is fine in many areas. There’s Drury University, Springfield’s largest historic neighborhood Midtown, and Commercial Street. Some spots are quite rough, but south side snobs who are afraid of poor people tend to make it out to be much worse than it actually is. Much of it is definitely up-and-coming in the next few years.

Live on the South Side, can confirm. Also folks here have a false sense of security and do stupid things and act surprised.

“How dare someone steal stuff out my garage I left open all day!? For shame’”

“I can’t believe someone would steal my valuables from an unlocked car? What is this town coming too!?”

Those are the same people who like to complain about how Springfield is just like the big city nowadays.

Lol, no, Melissa, you have absolutely no fucking clue what the big city is like. Bumper-to-bumper traffic, at least half the day that you have to plan your day around, as well as many many more homeless people and actual camps, a pretty high crime rate, noise, pollution, etc.... These people have no clue.
