I walk it at least once a week to an office across the block from Blue mall. I pass the same people often. Another thing to factor in is parking, which is a hassle. The thread is about crime, so my point is from Sarasota Ave up to Blue Mall is an ultra-safe 22-minute walk. Walking is certainly not for everyone. The beefy and cardiopulmonary challenged should stick to uber or one of those electric scooters. .
Issues with obese people I see?
This time of the year I wouldn't walk a block anywhere in the DR much less the city of SD; and going across from Churchill to 27th February ave on foot is total craziness and ghetto may I remind you again - I rather have my chauffeur take me - much more safer that way.
