If we're saying that crime occurs in downtown Hartford, as it does in every other city, that IS a fact.  If we're saying that crime is SO prevalent in downtown Hartford, that a rational person should be afraid to walk 2 blocks, that is NOT a fact.  I jumped into this convo when the statement was made that walking from Spectra to Front Street was a hazard to our health, which I would also say is NOT a fact.
Mind you, I have walked many blocks downtown at night.  I have lived in the South End, by the corner of Adelaide and Franklin.  I have walked 2 blocks there as well, day and night, where crime is more prevalent than downtown, to Mozzicato bakery, the old D & D Grocery, etc, and never had any issues.  Should I go play Powerball because I am SO lucky?  Or, is the crime in DOWNTOWN just being over-exaggerated?  I am also not saying that certain parts of the city shouldn't be avoided for an evening stroll.  There are parts of the city I would absolutely not walk 2 blocks at night, but downtown ain't it.
