You just cant go outside @ night without the risk of being shot @ or robbed

[@MCat360]

It’s obvious you don’t live in Youngstown because if you did you’d know that’s not true at all.

[@doorknobs2369]

It's a fine line between #1 place to retire and #1 place to go to die.

[@ianandrews6890]

This story isn't talking about the City of Youngstown alone . It's the Census Bureau's Youngstown Metropolitan Statistical Area ( MSA ) which is referred to - basically the whole of Mahoning , Trumbull & Mercer Counties. Most of those 3 counties would be great to retire to, but not so much Youngstown and Warren.
It's a shame Youngstown politicos take credit so frequently when none is due. Most outsiders ( be they prospective residents or investors ) aren't fooled. If they would only modernize the way they run Youngstown City , they may have something to boast about .

Every day, I thank my lucky stars I'm not there any longer. Gone since the early 70's and much happier.

Cost of living there and Struthers and around is so low because no one wants to live in a dying slum and expose themselves to so many shootings every week😂
Super unsafe high crime area and retiring has to do with safety and healthy things to do. It’s not even safe to drive or walk the streets😢

Sure.

"Retire" means "burried" in old Youngstownian.
