Unless it's TERRIBLY bad in a certain location, letting fear and crime dictate the way one lives is sad, IMO.

Honestly, I don't get the fear of inner-city crime either. My wife and frequently walk alone, at night, through the pathways and streets of downtown Calgary. In over five years of living here, I've never once feared for my safety.
On the other hand,
I have feared for my safety while dealing with all the suburban commuters driving along Deerfoot and Crowchild during rush hour.
