It’s helped in the sense that I’m mentally able tolerate an 11 hour shift of monotonous work

I would call milford safe , west haven relatively safe , amity relatively safe , the Yale section of downtown safe. Just because nothing happened to you there doesn’t make it safe by comparison to other places

Yale students have an entire area of the city to themselves yales campus is huge

Shows how much you get out or know about your city youve been around so long

Calling downtown a good area says enough about your standards. I worked in down town and literally saw an overdose every single shift I worked except for snow days . Living in downtown would be comparable to living in any hood area like any new haven native would tell you .

You just called down town good 😂😂😂😂 you definitely aren’t from the city

Also I don’t say any of this town down talk new haven I actually love the city personally I’m just aware it’s not a generally safe area and it isn’t somewhere I plan on raising my kid

That’s definitely not the case

Don’t forget the ville and the trey(dk how to spell it) . I’m not just naming places they are the most prevalent areas in the city all which have high crime rates

I’m pretty sure what op is asking for in other words is to not live in the hood which most places in new haven qualify as

West haven is definitely safe compared to pretty much anywhere in new haven
