its not binary as they say these days
Yes white gentrification has made the part of Harlem east of morningside park safer....no question
But yes there are still buildings with riff raft and not to mention 125 street north is still injun country and they can travel south that distance easily
In my opinion having lived there before when it was absolutely forbidden for me to enter and now when I saw with my own eyes many whites walking around all over the place and shops and stores unlike the 80s I’d wager it’s safer but yes not perfectLy safe like the West Vilage might be
And naive girl wanders into the park to buy weed after dark is vulnerable
Even sadly....to 13 year olds
I have a 13 year old
Can’t imagine him stabbing anyone but himself on accident
