I don't wish to add to the inner city vs. suburbs debate, but the crime rates downtown must be way higher. Must be a place to look up stats on this type of thing, but I can't imagine the crime rates are even close to comparable. I have a bunch of friends living downtown, I have never had any of them argue that the crime rate is low. They actually justify all the crap that they see and hear with things like convenience to 40 local restaurants within a short walk.
