I love outside of Gary Indiana, and yeah it can be dangerous if you look lost or like you have no purpose for being there, but there's also good working people just trying to eke out the same shit living we all are. I hear my mom and sisters say this kind of shit and it's just like. Sigh

Edit; for some fun examples look on any reddit thread about dangerous trips or some shit and people will constantly talk about how badass they were for driving through Gary or St Louis or some shit.

It's not a warzone mayos.

    ive been thinking abt moving to Chicago and so many mayos have pulled the “but its so dangerous” shit. if i bring up actual crime stats that show crime has been decreasing in these areas for the past 20 years they always have some half assed justification for why “its still bad there”. some fucks even bring up the 2020 protests and ill just be like “yeah i was in those and the only violence i saw was from police”
