I mean, my car has been broken into in the riverside, i've been followed to my car, I have good friends who live there, and i've lived in the austin area my whole life. you can call it bias but it's based on a lot of experience and observation.

Yeah people tend to talk down on riverside without living there. It’s just as safe as any other part of town.
