Yeah, there's a disgusting drug problem going on down there, but it's nowhere near as bad as you make it out to be. It's not a slum. It's a pretty bad area, but if I walk down there right now, I'm making it out alive and with my wallet in my pocket and will run into no problems.
Point being is that i would feel a lot safer walking thru the Downtown east side than I would down the streets of plenty of American cities.

I'm not making it out to be anything. I'm quoting people, who are a lot more qualified than your or I, who are talking about the problems there. I'm not the one calling the place an epidemic, the World Health Organization is.
Maybe you should talk a walk along there, step on an AIDS needle and see how safe you feel then!
