Based upon one review by someone who was mugged? There have been a few muggings here in Polish Hill, too, since I moved here last year, but I still feel VERY safe here. Like it or not people turn to desperate measures when we're within the throes of a never-ending recession.

It's the Hill District. I don't want to live in the Hill District.

Meh. As Uptown continues to gentrify, once the new supermarket is built on Centre Avenue, and once "Da Igloo" is razed and replaced with useful mixed-use redevelopment I think fortunes will begin to turn around for the Hill District. People said the same thing about East Liberty a decade ago and now it's one of the city's "hot-spots".

Most thievery and muggings nowadays are drug related. Of couse, the recession may lead to drug use for people who can't cope. Some people may also drink more. But alcoholics don't bust out car windows to get a fix. That is done by addicts of drugs like crack, heroin, crytal, and other highly addictive drugs.

Now this is the exeption of the rule... Crawford Square IS safe, and it's the safest part of the Hill District excluding Upper Hill (which tepically isn't included anyway).
Crawford Roberts Hill still has some rough parts though. I would avoid the few streets east of Heldman Park, close to Reed Robert's Manor. And the few streets northwest of Bedford Avenue. I think buying/renting outside of the the areas listed above, but not in Crawford Square is only for the "urban pioneer minded people".

Crawford Square is a typical fringe area. If a drug addict is looking for $30 to keep the high going, they will mug someone. It is easy to walk to CS and do it, therefore, you are going to have muggings now and again. Just the way it is. I think the Hill is well over 20 years from anything much going on. There needs to be somewhere these people live. They can't all move to Penn Hills or whatever. If CS didn't have the Hill next to it, how much do you think it would cost to live there? View of the city and able to walk downtown if you are not lazy. Good location, but next to lots of drugs.

Who might the "these people" and the "they" be?

More coded language you're going to claim was innocently used.
