I grew up in Marlborough Park (parents still live there) -- I never felt like it was unsafe but I can see why people might think that. Race is very much an issue, especially in more recent years it seems.
Having said that, I agree that NE Calgary is a utopia compared to some parts of the US. We took a subway in LA that passed through areas like Compton, etc and the difference is like night and day.

A resident in the quiet community of Marlborough Park told the Herald that he heard gunshots and ran out of his house to find his neighbour lying in the alleyway.

Maybe it's me, but if I hear gun shots the last thing I'm going to do is run outside into the alley
