I'm not saying crime isn't a problem, it definitely is, especially such as places like the river pathways these days.
But, it also seems like some people like to let crime and fear control their lives. Some people are blowing the whole crime thing in the inner city waaaaay out of proportion. Crime is evident everywhere these days; and I'm pretty sure it's growing in the suburbs.
Unless it's TERRIBLY bad in a certain location, letting fear and crime dictate the way one lives is sad, IMO.
