I know someone who claims that he has had a tough life because he grew up around gangs violence. He grew in the western part of Natick near Framingham and beaver st area. I can see how someone who grew up in that part of Framingham could claim this however he is from Natick how can he claim he is from a gang infested area? He says that the area of Natick he is from is actually very gentrified and the neighborhood used to bad and that he is still poor. Can someone verify and tell me if this neighborhood in Natick is actually as bad as he is claiming it to be.

This guy must be seeking out gangs to hangout with. I'm sure someone who wants to hang w rhe wrong crowd can do so wherever it is.

Ntick wasn't always considered nice, but calling it "dangerous" is a stretch.

At this point most of Framingham is gentrified and “nice,” let alone Natick.

What decade? 1930s? 50s? 70s?
I've never heard Natick being dangerous at all, but places do change significantly over a century.

I wouldn't live there, if that is what you are really asking.
