It just keeps rising

South Bend in the area I am in used to be a safer place to live. You didn't have to worry so much about locking your door at night, and could feel safe sitting outside on your patio at any time of night. I live in the county are of South Bend, which is typically set away from the crime that occurs in the city. It's now even reaching out into the county. I do not feel as safe as I once did, and with the city talking about making cuts, I fear that the protection factor is going to dwindle-leaving behind the rising crime sprees. It seems that at least a few murders happen weekly-just down the street. I am relocating in October, and this has become a main factor in my decision. I hope they do something for people living here so they don't have to be so fearful.
