Living in Manchester area- suggestions

[chris410]

There are a few people on this forum that like to think Manchester is some crime ridden cesspool that you will get murdered in if you step foot within the city limits. These people have probably never left the podunk town they were born in, never-mind stepped foot outside of NH. Compared to Cleveland I would think the worst parts of Manchester would feel extremely safe.

Agree with Chris, there's no question Manchester has some less appealing parts, but it's only slightly above the nat'l average overall, and not on par with Cleveland (2.5x nat'l average) or Akron (2x), particularly in regards to the "worst" neighborhoods.

I think the bigger problem here is that Manchester is an hour to Logan in no/light traffic. Any traffic at all and an hour won't be anywhere near enough.
