<p>I don’t agree, Byerly. H and I saw some beautiful homes near the university - out of our price range. The city has its less desirable area, sure, but being from los angeles, I guess I’m used to variety - sometimes within the same zip code.</p>
<p>Kids should visit - this idea that New Haven is so dangerous that you have to “yell POLICE” and drop your bag if you see someone ‘suspicious’ is comical. And as for the “murderous homeless,” the problems I have heard of come from teenagers, often from “the burbs”, not the homeless.
I like New Haven. I’d have no problem living there.The prices have really shot up in the last few years. I’d advise kids to look at a real estate section online and type in New Haven, CT. The million dollar + homes within the city wouldn’t be million dollar homes if the place were as scary as Byerly likes to make it out to be.</p>
