Durham wants to be hip like Charlotte with all it’s brewieres, NODA, Camp North End, Plaza Midwood, etc… but in reality it’s got a decent downtown with a nice university and few nice neighborhoods… the rest of the city is constantly full of crime and gunshots.

You poor thing

The issue here is that the nice parts of Durham aren’t the only parts of Durham.

How much has Durham changed since 2019? Because only three years ago it was still the most unsafe city in NC outside of High Point.

Not to mention, if Durham is so nice then why are they talking about adding shot spotter again… the town may have added nice tenants and buildings, essentially putting lipstick on a pig… but it’s still crime infested.

I’d rather walk into a Target and know I’m not going to get shot at then walk into a bar and not walk out later.

Funny thing is all those new millionaire wifes didnt feel safe either and neither did their visitors .....So what happened was an more seen police force. It was beyond funny watching that whole "defund police" drooling rhetoric and it not happen in certain areas...even if some that lived there where the most vocal. too good. The cops just push the riff raff further away, they may not build a case, but they can slow the rate of your business....

The great part about durham is this stigma keeps people like you out.

I mean it is unfortunate for the city. Even though I’m a Carolina guy… Duke is one of if not the most beautiful campus in the country and it’s without a doubt the best hospital in the country. The downtown area seems relatively hip and safe but it does seem that they’ve pushed a lot of crime out but it’s on the outskirts of Durham which unfortunately for Durham… is still part of Durham.

I own land in hurdle mills and cannot wait to move to that area.  Paradise

that area looks nice.

 

The only thing I wish I had was more land and some woods behind my house. But Eno River state park is a three minute drive so that’s a nice trade off.

Durham at one point had around 15 gangs, "da bricks" "13th street" even the crips were there. and by some luck the growth stopped and even less than 30 years ago. It was looking bleak at one point.

It’s not a stigma… do your research before being a dick. Just three years ago the FBI listed Durham as the most unsafe city in NC outside of High Point.

Durham is cool in the same way Detroit is cool. It has some neat areas and is hip and whatnot but there’s still the stain from the other surrounding areas that are still considered Durham.

I agree, funny thing is those NYers that move there, they know how to handle a city and its certain areas. Im a UNC supporter and all, but you BESTTTT believe if I need medical attention, Im taking my ass straight to duke. Even the the wealthiest arabs come to duke for surgery. Tho they are more focused on "new ground breaking" methods/tech and could care less about a broke finger....Im still going there.

From that article: FBI crime statistics show that Fayetteville, Greensboro, Rocky Mount, Goldsboro, Asheville and Charlotte all had higher rates of violent crime, per 100,000 people, in 2019, the most recent year for which data is available.

 

 

please tell me you don’t live in Charlotte
