Obi. I'm sure you know as well as everyone who is part of Spurstalk, that crime is everywhere. North, West, East, and South. I am not saying that you will not be a victim of crime if you move down to the South Side, but I was raised on the South Side off of Logwood and Aaron. I lived there for about 15 years and never heard any gun shots. I never had anything stolen and never got beat up like some wuss stated earlier. I never felt threatened nor scared when I lived there.
I now live right off of 1604 between Highway 16 and I-35. It is still the South part of town, but not considered San Antonio. I have lots of friends who live in the South Side and I don't recall any of them having any problems with crime. Just avoid the Indian Creek area. Try to avoid that whole area near Old Pearsall Rd such as Five Palms and Old Sky Harbor. I am not labeling all the people who live there as bad, but there is a lot of crime there.
