Parts of Linden are just as close if not closer to OSU than Clintonville. Linden also has parks and stores just like Clintonville. And with crime I suggest looking at where the crime happens, it's typically particular to a few main streets/corners. The neighborhoods themselves are comparable. You're almost making it sound like if you lived in a home in Linden that you'd expect drive by shootings on the regular or some such shit. That's not the case though shootings and street theft have been happening quite a bit in Clintonville and Short North on High St. Over last few years. People still move out of Clintonville to smaller school districts because city schools are perceived as bad. Of course a lot of white flight occurred during inner city bussing but whatever. If better schools, less crime, and allegedly work proximity are the reasons you need to convince yourself why suburbs became popular the first place and not that it is because white people don't want to have black neighbors, suit yourself.
