I said way down, and it is still a worry regardless. I know it has trended down since Covid. I would love to hear of every restaurant opening in providence on the providence subreddit. This isn’t petty crime and I would argue over half of this subreddit has walked on or near Washington St. Idk I like to be aware of what goes on good/bad and idc who posts it. That’s all

>trying to say crime is down

It literally is: https://www.abc6.com/providence-crime-stats-continue-downward-trend/

>I don’t see the big deal of having a crime article esp when it takes place in PVD’s downtown

That's cool, you can have your own preference.

But to be clear, I don't think people's issue is a crime story posted here, it's every crime story being posted. I would prefer this sub be a highlight reel of the most interesting/relevant/discussable things, not just a repository for every single story in any given category. I wouldn't want to hear about every single restaurant opening, wouldn't want every single concert, every single fire, every single violent crime, etc.

But, again, I'm just trying to help explain what you're seeing, not trying to change your mind on anything; you're obviously welcome to keep your own preference.

I get that, I don’t think providence is dangerous but shit happens in every city and I like to be aware of where I live. Seems like he’s fear mongering, but some of these comments are doing the exact opposite and trying to say crime is way down and there’s not a worry. Idk I just see Reddit as an extension of the news and I don’t see the big deal of having a crime article esp when it takes place in PVD’s downtown

Once again you demonstrate your inability to parse individual stories and isolated incidents from the overall trends and relative safety of our capitol city. Posting those out of context is either an intentional attempt to mislead or an ignorant understanding of how data works. Regardless, I will follow your posts with posts like mine every time, and I hope you will open your mind to the reality of the data and city living.

It's more about the op than this one story in particular. Nothing wrong with people knowing about a crime, but this guy exclusively posts every report of any violent crime in the city, and constantly promotes how dangerous the city is. Then proceeds to get, well, weird in the comments with anyone he perceives as disagreeing, as you can see here.

You have an amazing ability to shove your head in the sand, and deny deny deny, huh?

What exactly do you think I'm lying about? I even posted the link for you, just go ahead and quote what you're talking about maybe?

>you didn't get a response to your little love letter

I didn't write any love letters....? But again, great bald faced lie. Amazing lack of integrity, and you're making my point for me. Please continue.
