My experience in Gulfton has been a mix of positive connections and concerns about safety. I've formed some of my closest friendships here, which have enriched my life greatly. However, the prevalence of gang activity and crime in the area is a significant concern, and I wish for a safer community

Gulfton is a very fun and diverse area with countless authentic grocery stores and Mexican foods. The only issue with Gulfton is its crime rate. The area is generally safe, but if you take the wrong turn, you could end up in a sticky situation. It has happened to me a few times, but it is uncommon. Overall, Gulfton is a fun place and generally safe place, but you will have to watch where you are going.

The police is rarely around when you need them and we need a lot of changes in this area. There are camera surveillance but it usually never helps. My concern is, when is this violence going to stop? When are things going to get better? All
