Anyone growing up in DC will laugh out loud at the suggestion that Coral GBA,es is safe. Maybe as hard as Marcus Fortson laughed in Chuck Amati’s face.
I’ve lived in Atlanta since 1993. My kids are rained here. Other than random acts of violence which occur literally everywhere in the world, it is pretty **** easy to avoid being a victim of crime. Stay away from certain obvious neighborhoods. When out past 12 be more conscious of surroundings, and stay away from gas stations after 12.
No major city is “unsafe”. There are parts of every city that are unsafe and parts that are very safe. Some people have no choice because they are raised in an unsafe part of a city. But for those who have a choice, like every single student living on UM’s campus, being safe is of very little concern.
