Hi All,

I've grown up in Calgary my entire life but my wife is from BC. We're currently looking for townhouse/houses (Westbrook mall area, south to heritage, north to brentwood) in the ~300-350K range.

She keeps finding these properties in Temple, martindale and all of the other NE communities. Basically all of the communities that my "snob" factor makes me say that they aren't "nice" or ideal for us to buy in

I keep getting called a snob because I am saying things like "they aren't that nice" and "statistically speaking there is more crime in the NE than the SW". Am I right? or am I a snob?

I've been looking on the calgary police service website (their crime report) to get a definitive answer that there is more crime per capita in the NE than anywhere else

Basically... am I right in saying that generally that NE is not as safe as other parts of the city? Or am I just a snob because I grew up in the SE?
