If you've ever lived in an actual city, it's all pretty safe.

If you cry yourself to sleep after hearing people speak a little Spanish, stay out.

Yeah, I’m from Nashua, have lived in Bed-Stuy Brooklyn for 7 years now. If anyone thinks anywhere in NH is “rough” in any capacity, it’s 100% subconscious racism or classism. Working class/diverse areas are not “the hood”

I would take a look at the Somersworth crime statistics. They are not good and I would never choose to live there

But I agree that in general there aren’t really rough places in NH. Manchester can be sucky sometimes for petty stuff like car breakins or a stolen package (I lived there for a few years, on a tree street no less) but the sharks and the jets aren’t roaming around snapping and looking for people to fight, and the way people talk about it sometimes you wouldn’t know that
