I’ve lived between spring and monroe on 11th for almost 4 years, with very few incidents. I’d like to hear more from the CH_res poster who claims that one is taking one’s life into their own hands walking here late night. On what do you base this claim? Other long term residents have told me this area is way better than in the past, and walking at night is ok now.

I live Otis and 11th. I heard a single gun shot a few minutes before 2am. Weird that it wasn’t followed by more. You’re taking your life in your own hands if you walk down 11th between Monroe and Spring late night. Stay safe.
