If by good neighborhood you mean people smoking meth in building entryways, gun standoffs with police, addicts breaking into cars, parks overrun with derelicts,

  Can confirm. I live on Broadway at the north end before it turns into 10th and one night out my window I heard a homeless guy screaming "JUST FKING DO IT. KILL ME". I go to my window and a guy has a gun pointed against his forehead, presumably a drug dealer since he was asking for his money. This screaming went on for a good 15 minutes while the drug dealer repeatedly hit him. I've seen theft happen everywhere, people on meth screaming all night, homeless people sleep on the sidewalk no matter what, people shooting up on your door steps, dead homeless people, etc. The thing is I never felt really threatened by anyone, including the people who were extremely high on whatever cocktails they had in their systems. It seemed like everyone was really just trying to survive or to escape their terrible, hopeless reality. I don't hate these people who are obviously under massive stress and have obviously nothing, but it's a very good look into the reality of what problems Seattle really has.

    I wonder why your city government doesn't do something to help these people. Open shelters, mental health centers, etc. These people have issues, they shouldn't be left in the streets to be prey for drug dealers.
