Well... Buffalo was a place I was considering to go to next. If I think Edmonton is this bad, I guess maybe Buffalo probably isn't the best place to go.

Every week, there is at least one stabbing within one block I live (on Whyte Ave). At every community (minus 1) of my friend, there is always something going on. One of my other friends, he casasually walks around cop cars doing drug busts or domestic violence calls on his way home every day from class.

Another one of my friends, from the LRT to their house, you walk by about 5-6 homeless people pushing shopping carts full of pop cans and such.

As I walk home from University campus (about 5 blocks from campus) I get asked for money from homeless people about 4 times a week.

In my apartment building (and my girlfriend's apartment building, both within a radius of 5 blocks from campus) there are always homeless people sleeping in the enterenace. (I know its cold, but you'd think there would be a homeless shelters here?)
