I saw a recent news story on Komo regarding Belltown crime.  Apparently there are 50 frequent crimers who have been arrested 2,500 times in total.  

 

I was curious if the crime in Belltown is making it less desirable for buyers?  Having lived there for a few years myself, I never found it to be an issue.  I was more annoyed by the drunk people relieving themselves on our building but chalked it up to urban charm.

It sounds like things have gotten a bit worse, at least enough for the Mayor to start a special initiative.  What are your thoughts?  Does Belltown crime make rule it out for you?  Vote in the poll below!
