I had to weigh in on this. The City of Richmond as a whole, is, unsafe to say the least. However, when you're talking about Richmond, that generally includes Henrico and parts of Chesterfield. Saying Richmond is crap is like the anti's saying because we own guns were all mass murderers. It's a group of bad people giving Richmond a bad name. Let's not condemn the name of Richmond based on the actions of one group of criminals. Every city, nationwide has its criminals. Richmond, unfortunately is not that big size wise, unlike many other very large cities. But Richmond has also been here a VERY long time as compared to many cities that are still in their infancy comparably. Let's remember some of the tradition and history that's here and try to focus on that rather than the negatives. We want people to stop focusing on the negative actions of criminals with guns when thinking about us, so lets give Richmond that same courtesy. She's a fine old city with lots to offer if you take the time to find it. And like any city, stay out of what you KNOW are the bad areas. We can't always fix whats happening there but we can keep ourselves from becoming part of the problem by not going there.
