This sentiment is so outlandish to me. I lived down there for 5 years (just moved recently). Never had a break in, never robbed, never had my car stolen, never had a run-in with anyone or was I ever assaulted. I heard gunshots ONCE. Is there crime down there sometimes? Sure, but the vast majority of assault charges issued downtown are dipshit Johnson County kids getting into fights at the PBR bar.
The stigma that KC's downtown is unsafe is a remnant from days past. It's one of the safest, if not the safest, downtown areas I've lived in or visited. Go drive through downtown at about 9PM on any night of the week. You'll see young women walking their dogs alone, making ChiefsPlanet member New World Order look like a huge pussy.
