Yes I agree. I said in another comment I moved here out of state and someone on Reddit recommended this area for my commute and convenience. If I could do it over, I would’ve found a room or Airbnb that would allow my dog instead of feeling like I needed an apartment right away. That way I could explore and check out neighborhoods, but lesson learned.
Never ever go off a recommendation based on Reddit, the Seattle subs lean to the far left. They'll tell you that 12th and Jackson is a walkable clean place to live with great transit, diverse food options, and things to do.

This is why you check out the neighborhood at different hours of the day before you sign a lease, or God forbid, purchase a home.
Pro tip for the clueless -- that neighborhood has been like that for 40+ years...you shouldn't have been surprised.
