Thank you NCGirl.
I'm moving from Denver Colorado, home to 4.86 million people, and I have never ever felt unsafe in my neighborhood or anyplace in the city of Denver.
I thought Charlotte would be the same.
I appreciate your help and your time in responding, also for the link.
Happy New Year!
Maddie, I moved from denver as well. Belive me, what you hear in the news groups is not the happening in real life. The amount of break-ins is very high. Try to spend more money and get a nice gated community and spend some money on security system as well. You dont feel the same safety as we did in denver. I can give you that much headsup

That is the whole population of the state of Colorado.
Metro Denver about 2.5 million. Charlotte about 2.2 million (wikipedia.com). Not a big difference. Both are great cities. My cousin lives in Greenwood Village in Cherry Hills Farm in Denver area. They love Denver!
Denver is a whole lot more built up, but give Charlotte a few more years. It is booming.

For a lot more built up city there is no special crime and here people say this city is growing rapidly and still have crime rising 10 fold. How sick is that.
These incidents happen in the summer. I havent read or heard anything since then. It typical in the summer for teenage vandals That development is right against a major street.

I agree. Crime is pathetic. I am glad I was raised right and made right decisions.
Probably 1/2 of the inner city kids and some suburb kids are raising themselves. Times have changed and not for the better.
Drugs & gangs are to blame for the biggest majority of crime & murders in Charlotte.
If you are a parent in Charlotte-Mecklenburg, you have an obligation to have your kid off the street and home before 11pm (if they are under 18). 1/2 of the parents today have no idea where their kids area.
You need new judges and lawyers ..you know ones who uphold the law??
An excellent point. There have been articles in the newspaper about a lack of prosecutors and judges. If you want to take criminals off the street you have to also have adequate jail space as well. It seems that if they pull in three murderers in Charlotte, three burglars go free. I understand people want to keep their taxes low, but you can end up being too cheap. Charlotte still is basically still a one-horse town (banking) and if the perception of it changes from being a basically safe place, to one that seems to be crime-ridden, it will no longer be an Atlanta want-to-be, but the South's answer to Detroit.

Crime in general is always a sickening thing - I think we all agree with that.
Thank goodness some of our numbers have been going down, like murder and rape.

I'm sorry I misspoke, thank you for the real numbers.
Your cousin and I are pretty much in the same area. I live in the Denver Tech Center which butts up to Greenwood Village. Cherry Hills Farm is very nice (it actually reminds me of the Carolinas).
