To counter the OP’s incessant fear-mongering:

TLDR:

The violent crime rate has been dropping for decades in this city. There was a spike during COVID, that is true for every single city in America, but now things are regressing to the mean. Providence is a wonderful city and I have never felt particularly unsafe, but it is still a city. Use your brains and you’ll be fine.

And don’t let alarmists like u/Previous_Floor and his propaganda fool you into pearl clutching.

Breaking the "civility" rule here is a good way to get your comment removed and your point lost. Better to take the high road and counter with only facts and not conclusions about their personality as well.

That’s fair, I removed the insult. I reserve the right to feel that way about his obvious attempts to mislead and fearmonger.

For sure, there's just no real benefit to putting your feelings into words.

The civility thing is no big deal. Unlike many on here, I have thick skin.

The perverted username should be the first clue. And if one can get beyond that, the lack of critical thought becomes painfully obvious.

Lack of critical thought, says the guy who ignores trends for anecdotes. Hey it’s cold outside, guess global warming doesn’t exist!

Also my username is a Workaholics reference.

Your comments sure don't make it seem like you have thick skin. Look at you in this very thread, trolling through weeks of comments in attempt to dig up some dirt on someone who slightly disagreed with you.
