very much so very much so in fact um for a while there uh they had downtown if you were to come come to a stop light they had a a rash of where people were uh when people were stopped at stop signs that people would get in their car and hold a knife and hold them up so now ever since then when you drive into the city most people keep their doors locked while they 're in the car until they get down there and once you 've reached the the river walk area which is the tourist area it 's usually pretty safe during the during the day if you 're just kind of cautious and don 't go down the back streets or alleys and um you know or or alone if you stay with the groups and along the area where they have the the river patrol cops it 's very nice but at at evening um again you they have the high tourist area the river walk area which is nice but you don 't want to get off the beaten track um there 's a lot of parking garages there because parking is very tight and so you don 't want to get caught in the parking garage um alone
You don 't want to travel alone in this area because people were being hold up at knife-point .
