It's basically one big Here Be Dragons if I'm driving though. New Haven seems like another one that would fall on the list if it weren't for Yale - definitely seemed like one of those areas that you can live/work in for 20 years without a problem if you're a local but can go from real nice to dangerous within a block if you're visiting and decide to walk around. |
There's Hartford, West Hartford, and East Hartford. I lived on the WeHa/Hartford line, and taught on the south end of Hartford (which isn't exactly safe, either).
I consider Fair Haven to be part of New Haven. I taught in Fair Haven, and lived in the Westville section of New Haven (a block away from SCSU's campus. It was Westville-bad area-Yale-eh area-Fair Haven. Fair Haven is one of the worst areas in the state for crime, and New Haven was #4 in violent crime in the nation when I lived there. But that definitely isn't the majority of the city.
