[QUOTE="Northeast Stinger, post: 926327, member: 1640"] Having lived in urban areas in different parts of the country I can only tell you that, by far, the most dangerous city I ever lived in was Savannah. It wasn’t NY, Chicago, Atlanta or Boston. Now, do you need to be street smart in each of these towns. Of course! But the problem we are talking about is perception more than reality. Savannah seems to be a place “everyone” wants to move to and the crime issue does not seem to be affecting home prices. So, narratives depend a lot on what you choose to see and what you choose to ignore. Some of the perception, in my opinion, is a combination of journalists trying to find something with emotional punch to write about and some of this being politically motivated in an on-going “culture war.” This doesn’t have to be a recruiting problem unless we make it such. At the height of the crime / perception issues that plagued Techwood Homes we still managed to have some good recruiting years by Tech standards. The Tech campus is positively an oasis compared to then. [/QUOTE]
