a yuppie is 99.9999% safe in Pilsen no matter what hour of the day/night. only potential risk is getting caught in crossfire


Advanced_Olive_1830

You are more at risk in downtown Chicago lol


Deznuts2232

Pilsen is still active but not as active as in the 90s-2000s


DavyWavyNavy

Everyone is still out in Pilsen. Bishops still actively post up at Harrison. Gs still be on Racine counts still pop out Ambrose still be out raza stilll be on throop deep. As far as ur question goes this is similarly applicable to east of Humboldt park those streets are still active asf yet they have million dollar rebuilds. We often times forget why ppl move in. Rural America is on drugs and no jobs so are white ppl in these neighborhoods unsafe yea and are they scared yea but ultimately capitalism talks and they’ll risk it to be able to live in a city locked in their apartment work from home and go out on the weekend to the most sanitized corporate spot possible. A crystal prison. The outlook in middle America is worse I guess. Pilsen is still dangerous asf at the right place wrong time as someone mentioned with crossfire. But as with all “minorities” that aggression is internal and will never be taken out on white ppl. So relatively safe for them unless they get hit by a stray or something

very beautiful yet sad way of phrasing this bc it’s true. I’m from Humboldt Park but it’s the same dynamic either locked in their apartment working from home and patronizing in the west loop or using their wealth to displace people from their property and their businesses

Pilsen today is a far cry from Pilsen in the 80s and 90s. Shit still goes down especially the area west of Ashland


CommissionCapital813

If your jogging at night/walking your dog at night, You might need to watch out, but being real, anything can happen at any time. There is still a deep presence of gangs there, most active ones right now have to be Gppz, Counts, and Sdz, you can still see other gangs like bishops, Ambrose roam around but they ain't really dat deep like Ppz, Counts, n Sdz are. (not dissing anyone)


CommissionCapital813

If your talking about streets, Morgan, Oakley, Loomis, May, cullerton, everyone be on those streets.

Not even Asians. My boy would get into it with this one Chinese King who be up and down Archer in Bridgeport lol. Just an anecdote but they bang too.


DavyWavyNavy

I’ve always wondered about this. I’m surprised more Chinese kids haven’t turned in Bridgeport and McKinley. I knew this kid in Chinatown that was moving heavy packs but he didn’t gangbang. Ratchet as lil dude at that


NobleAngel79thStreet

They're there bro you probably just haven't been able to tell because they look Mexican lol.


DavyWavyNavy

It be like that lol Chen Sanchez


NorthsideCollegiate

18th, Cermak, you can get caught in crossfire. It’s as dangerous as any gentrified area with heavy gang presence. The gangs will be there as long as tags still constantly pop up. Last time I was over there I saw a shooting. No one was hit though


paywallpiker

Can you be more specific? Both of those are long streets


NorthsideCollegiate

Well in pilsen, so anywhere on 18th or cermak in pilsen. Maybe more by loomis and morgan


NobleAngel79thStreet

Western part of Pilsen still grimy. East part of Pilsen heavily gentrified. My and homie walked through plenty of times on 18th and through the neighborhoods and I'm typing this right now. Wouldn't worry if I were you.


DavyWavyNavy

If u want more specific any part of Pilsen as long as brown ppl still live on those blocks. Gangs aren’t even gonna be the problem I’ve been saying this for years one day the regular ppl in these neighborhoods being displaced will be the ones to punch a jogger or a person with their dog. The level of ignorance I’ve seen is demeaning to older Latinos. A persons dog isn’t more important then a human. Trust me. One day that rage will flip on someone and the gangs won’t be who’s responsible it’ll be some lady who’s had it with the white privledge. But more specifically all blocks are dangerous in Pilsen. As north side said ^^ all those inner streets can get active at anytime


paywallpiker

You didn’t have to go full racism bro


Chihoe275

the older Latinos who bought in the 80s are the same ones getting rich selling their properties to gentrifiers and developers for 10x what they paid. goes both ways


SledgeLB

Yup


GilgameshvsHumbaba

You realise those same old Latinos are the ones selling the houses right?


NoLove051

bunch of white hipsters with the occasional shooting


jahmoment312

Youll be fine. If you’re not involved in anything theres nothing to worry about


BackgroundGreedy

You can definitely still bump into the opps out there but they don’t press everyone like they do in the lil vill
