Crime is generally lower here, mainly because the public housing in our area (unlike East Nashville) has been here a long time and is populated mainly by elderly residents. The police have told several Salemtown neighbors that they are stepping up patrols in our area.<br /><br />As far as worrying goes, you cannot live any any part of an urban area and not be concerned for your safety. The only option is to move to the suburbs or the country ... well, strike that, given that the crime rate in the burbs and the hinterlands is actually rising at a faster rate than in the cities.<br /><br />I don't regret our move here at all. But I started this blog to be a part of the solution and to help enhance the quality of life in our neighborhoods. So, by God, I'm going to press the point of crime and the need for solutions as crime occurs.<br /><br />Oh, and keep in mind that Salemtown is behind Germantown in development probably 5-10 years. You shouldn't think twice about moving to Germantown if you don't mind paying the higher real estate prices there.S-townMikehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05948307051485318061noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10635442.post-1109042332881302632005-02-21T21:18:00.000-06:002005-02-21T21:18:00.000-06:00Have you had any run ins or any break-ins living i...Have you had any run ins or any break-ins living in your neighborhood?<br /><br />My fiance and I are thinking of moving to some lofts in Germantown and I can't help but worry about security.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
