As a current (longtime) resident, I see comment threads like this and scratch my head wondering which sensationalized coverage led to the belief that the city is so dangerous "it needs people who believe in it to move there".
May I ask: which neighborhood(s) did you live in, and/or is there specific coverage or a precipitating event that made you lose faith?
Crime has increased in some areas, yes, but the reaction to those increases have been extreme, and do not seem proportional.
It's one thing when people who don't live here are just reacting to the news cycle, but I'm pretty curious to hear your perspective as someone who has lived here.
