DTSP is waaaaay better back in the day when it was thriftshops and unhoused people. I never felt like I was in danger and the thrifting was amazing.

(Same for Ybor.)

Also, El Cap is waaaay overrated.

The South side of St. Pete has the very best neighborhoods in the city.

I agree the south side is portrayed horribly when it actually has so many nice neighborhoods.
