Has anyone dealt with feeling less safe in your neighborhood? Recently I’ve noticed more homeless people meandering and as a single female I sometimes feel uneasy. Any advice or safety tips to feel less anxious?

Where do you live? I am in Seattle and I know it’s gotten really bad here. Just curious if it is only here or other places too.

I feel less safe due to so many home break-ins that we have here. There is so much crime and the criminals are not prosecuted and out in jail. It’s really crazy.

Crazy- I’m in Dallas too and have had two different dudes try to get into my townhome in the last month. One may have been a misunderstanding, but the other was definitely nefarious, and both were between 4 and 5am. Caught it all on my ring camera.

Not sure if it’s actually getting less safe, or if I just notice more with the camera. Lived here for 20+ years, but have only had a camera for year and a half.
