In the 80s my street I lived on was mostly white. Ride my bike everywhere or walked everywhere. My parents not the least bit worried about us kids roaming the neighborhood with our friends during the day during summers.
ETA: you came home for lunch, kool aid breaks and your butt better be inside when the street lights came on at night.

Yeah, I grew-up in Brownsfield in the 80s. It's north of 70805, not far from the airport. It wasn't bad at all back then. From the time that I was 5 or 6, groups of us would go to the park without any adults. I wouldn't even fathom letting my kid do that nowadays, regardless of how safe the neighborhood is.

Sounds like my experience in the 70806 in the '90s.
