I lived a few streets north of here for nearly a decade. There are some shady
looking people hanging around sometimes but honest to god I barely witnessed any real crime there (I saw a guy choking his wife or girlfriend once but that was the most serious thing by far). After living there for nearly that decade, I equate it to a delusion as you have stated. Never once felt unsafe near there. Most of the people just hanging around really never bothered me ever.
I'd put a lot of money on Division Street having more crime than this area. I've witnessed a lot more crime there than Chicago/State.
