I can understand you saying Miami, but Tampa? You are wrong. In 2006, the murder rate per 100,000 people was nearly DOUBLE in Fort Lauderdale, and Fort Lauderdale also led in robberies, burglaries and theft. I've been to Tampa, and its not bad. Far worse places in Lauderdale.

Fort Lauderdale, Pompano Beach, Oakland Park, Opa Locka, Miami Gardens, West Palm Beach, Belle Glade, and Riviera Beach all have higher crime rates (in the majority of the crime categories) than Tampa.

Have you ever been down MLK Blvd in Tampa? You don't even have to go, you can just look at it on here. It's like Sistrunk west of 95 or Sunland but I would say about 3-4 times worse.

MUCH worse in real life. The actual crime rate as a whole is higher in Tampa but Ft. Lauderdale is higher in some categories like the ones you named. Now on the other hand, Pompano has some sections that I would put up against a bad part of Tampa. But here is the difference between here and there- Tampa improves every year, we stopped improving around 2006. But Tampa as a whole is more what I would call "gritty" than anything.

Now on the other hand bad parts of Tampa don't even compare to Miami Gardens, parts of WPB, Riviera, etc.

No, not too familiar with it. And I know what you mean, it gets worse every year down here. From what I've seen and heard so far, this year doesn't look much better.
