Mixed · 48Mixed signals: a few people praise Greensboro's cleanliness and calm, while others report downtown decline and sharp rent and property tax hikes, so caution is warranted.
- calm and uncrowded streets
- clean, wide streets
- affordable compared to Charlotte in past
- friendly small-city feel
- rent increases
- rising property taxes
- downtown emptiness
- past downtown crime and disorder
- corporate landlords
- Rents and property taxes are rising sharply, squeezing renters, especially seniors.
- Downtown feels empty and some residents describe past safety problems there.
- Quiet, clean streets appeal to people who want a calmer city.
- Coverage is thin and mostly older or off-topic, so the picture is incomplete.

“Yes the downtown is virtually empty. Because for the past several years it was violent, human feces on the sidewalk, homeless people screaming and attacking random folks, boarded up or broken windows, hordes of four wheelers and dirt bikes ”
