Can somebody comment on how safe it is near OSF and surrounding area to live in rental places?

Is it ok for single person to move for essential activities in the evening? Are there any areas to avoid?

Thanks

Financially speaking, this is a bad time for any young single person who does not have a college education, and several thousand dollars in reserve, to immigrate to a country that has an unstable economy.

Locally it will get worse before it gets better. This is the first time in recent years that I recall a long term hiriing freeze at Caterpillar and layoff. Hospitals, fast food, grocery stores, restuarants, box stores -- are all cutting back on employee hours and not hiring. It is especially hard for those on a fixed income as the cost of consumer goods sucn as utilities, transportation and food continue to rise.
