I hate it when people use the 'bum' excuse when talking about the inner-city.
Maybe it's just me, but the possibility of a 'bum' walking around in an alley next to a property that I happened to live in would never scare me away from living in the inner-city. Even if I did have children. #1, you're assuming that the bum is an evil entity, and #2, you're assuming that he's going to cause harm to somebody or something. Which very, very few and far between.
I'm so glad I don't live in this kind of bubble. I grew up in the inner-city, with 'bums' walking around everywhere since I was a wee lad playing on the front lawn, and it's really not anywhere near the problem that it's made out to be.
